Mrs Stella Surman recalled "Ginge" as always having a smile for everyone (quoted in "Linton Makes History", p. 85). However, the early LDHS index to photographs says that his temper matched his hair colour - fiery!
Small, faded and damaged photograph which shows "Ginge", a Chinese hawker who sold his goods in Linton and other towns in the district in the early 1900s. Legend says that his name derived from having red hair.
