Help with caption please

I have a postcard photo of a relative with a handwritten caption on the back with one mystery word.

I think it says:
Taken at Wallingford [something]
1928
2 1/2 years

Is the [something] Cambs - perhaps just an error as it was in Berkshire then?  Or Gardens?  But the photo is a studio shot.  Or another word?  The child was in a children's home at that time so I have asked Wallingford museum what homes there were in the area then.

[edit - not succeeded with this] I've attached the photo too - interesting because there's what I thought was a file but looks like it's a bound book.  Pretty dog-eared so I guess a children's book to keep him occupied, but he still waved and swung his foot while being photographed.

I'm having problems uploading the photo as the system says there's already one with the same name.  I'll try again later.

Thanks Gadget, you're probably right as that is correct, but it is an odd B isn't it?  I was convinced it began with a C.

[Edit] yes if I squint at it I can see it's obviously Berks.  D'oh.

Outlined in red

It's so obvious now, but I read the first curve as a C and didn't spot it connecting with the next part.  Thanks for the red outline as that really shows it up doesn't it?
