I have chosen four which I think are of social and historical interest.
1. This one does include my great aunt. She worked for Boots the Chemist and this was their annual summer outing. I have never been able to identify which resort they are visiting.
2. This photo was a postcard of a school prize giving in Shepton Mallet. I like the way the dignitaries are roped off from the crowd!
3. In need of the fire brigade? Look no further.
4. Then perhaps a little music. My great grandfather played in a regimental band but I cannot tell you if he is in this picture.
A great collection from a time when having your photo taken was a real occasion! Don't think that I have seen all of these before.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful, and a great idea for a SNAP collection.
ReplyDeletea fabulous collection and wonderful that they survive - I love the clothes and that the dignitaries are roped off and all those hats
ReplyDeleteReally cool SNAP collection. I like old photos & always spend time going through the collections for sale at antique shops. I hope someone in the crowd of Snappers can help identify the resort.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic shots & really show that time period, too! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletewonderful photos...I love the fashions(everyone wearing hats!)
ReplyDeleteWhat an incredible collection!
ReplyDeleteSo interesting and the top one is amazing. That bus!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful pictures. Each one is a treasure. And, yes, that bus!
ReplyDeleteHow fun - I did old photos this week too. Your aunt has some rather cool shots here, full of memories.
ReplyDeleteI always thought those would be quite interesting times to live in.
