That is an outstanding collection of photographs, must be fascinating seeing them come out on the screen
That’s real history there!

 

They are great images, do you recognise anyone in that last picture? family?

I recently went through a load of old photos of my Mum and Dads and most of my old relatives looked like bulldogs chewing wasps after being hit in the face with a shovel

They are great. Wish I had you ability. I have some of the old VHS video's and want to get them put on disc. One especially with our Baby before we lost him.

That’s a holiday home my family used to rent out to the lower classes
We keep cat’s and dogs in there now

 

That is something very special indeed! Nice one Steve

 

If you do some family history research using census data you will find addresses. That might help you narrow it down. The 1911 census is available now, and the 1921 census will become available via Findmypast in January 2022.

Also electoral registers are a good source of information. From 15 October 1918 to 1926 the electoral registers were compiled twice a year. Those absent in the armed forces when the 1918 and subsequent lists were compiled are shown separately at the end of the polling district in which they normally lived in an Absent Voters' List.. The entries show their home address, unit, rank and number, and form an important source of that information. The 1918 Act widened the franchise so all men aged 21 and above could register to vote, and also women aged 30 or over (subject to certain other qualifications) so there is a good chance of finding the address if you have an idea of who is in the photo.

 

I'm impressed Steve, it must be fantastic to be able to bring your family history alive into the digital age.

 

You never know Steve you might spot a likeness in another photograph and be able to cross link. Whatever, it's a fascinating look in to social history.

 

@steve lovatt they look ace Steve!

 

I tried dropping the picture of the house into Google image search, but while there were many images of very similar likeness none had the same unique features. Well, not on the first few pages I went through

 

Wow,they’re fantastic Steve.

Fantastic views of your family and social history mate.

Keep them coming,I for one love old photos especially if there’s a snippet of information with the photos.

 

there’s loads of places out there that will do that,

 

Nice one steve
When my father in law died I found a box in the attic that contained loads of cine film shot in Uganda from the early 50’s to 60’s, fascinating to watch “live” history
