Description: | Photocopy of photograph of 3 small children. Mrs Khalique's eldest 3 children who were all born in Pakistan, from left Javid (standing), Parvaze (sitting on small square table) and Shanaz (standing) Taken in about 1953 at Mrs Khalique's mother's house in Rawalpindi in Pakistan. The children's clothes were made by Mrs Khalique's sister.
The photocopy is unevenly cut out and shows that the original black and white photograph had several creases on it.
Part of a collection of Khalique family photographs. Spanning from the 1950s to around 2000. Mrs Mumtaz Begum Khalique married her husband Abdul Khalique in 1948, they had eight children Javid b. 29.10.1950, Shanaz b. 5.8.1951, Parvaze Khalique b.21. 3 1952 [?], Robeena b.20.2.1957, Samina b. 28.2.1958, Jabeena b. 31.5.1959, Abraz b.17.10.1960 and Nageena b.12.12.1961. The first 3 were born in Pakistan, and Mrs Khalique arrived in England on 31.1.1957 pregnant with Robeena. The family first lived in one room at 30 Bangor St., off Woodborough Rd., St Ann's, then they bought 145 Peas Hill Road, and in August 1958 a shop and house at 124a Woodborough Rd (on the corner of Palmerston St). Their shop was called Continental Stores and sold Asian, West Indian and English food. In 1970 they bought a house on Grouville Drive, Wollaton, and still had the business on Woodborough Rd. The Woodborough Rd shop had to be closed in 1972 when the council compulsorily purchased it, and they bought a shop on Alfreton Rd. Mr Khalique died on 16.1.1975, Mrs Khalique didn't keep the business for long after that. Mrs Khalique became increasingly involved in community work.
