Edward Atkinson (1827-1905), second from the right, was a well-known businessman and abolitionist. He and his wife, Mary Caroline Heath, had three daughters and four sons and it is possible that it is they who are shown in this photo. The extended family was exceptionally close-knit as there were a number of Heath and Atkinson families housed on and near Heath Hill. The street has since been renamed to Heath Hill Rd. and the house is no longer standing.
