  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

tidy up please

never too late to join in phil...yet another great attempt...i can clearly make out glasses of beer on the table and the young lad on the right is holding an ice lolly...glad to see the old wall on the left is still there today...maybe jodie will get this one printed off for the family album..i do recognise her nan margaret on the left who was a friend of our moms...she lived a few doors down from us in villa st..if you read the villa st thread jodie has said a family trip is planned to the pub :)

Lyn. Sepia and B&W versions: Unfortunately there was too much damage to the lady's blouse for me to work out what it looked like so I've dressed her in one of my own design!!! PS I've just realised that in straightening the picture I lost the lady's feet! I'll try to put them back tomorrow>

Feet re-attached!

Thank you in anticipation.

What a lovely photo, I'd say it's early Edwardian, probably around 1905 (and no later than 1910) The ladies hair is a parted pompadour style. The high collars and brooches are very typical of the period. Is it mother and daughter ? Lovely.
