Sally as girl

Gent and girl in doorway

This small photograph (4×3″) was bought from a kind gentleman at a car boot sale recently who saves old images for me.

Although much of the image is out of focus, it has a few tears/stains and has seen better days I couldn’t resist it. I also thought it might end up in the bin if I didn’t save it!

The message on the back doesn’t make much sense and looks as though a child has written it (perhaps the girl in the photo?).

It reads Sally as girl me this one (plus a final word I can’t decipher!).

p.s. Can you see the third person in the photograph?

Handwriting on the reverse.

Wedding Day

wedding lady and girl

This small photograph was found at a car boot sale on the Rabbit Run near Telford.

The beautiful lady in the image looks as if she is getting married and reminded me of my Nan when she was younger.

The younger girl doesn’t seem so happy about posing for a photograph.

It was only after I had scanned this image that I spotted the person crouched down behind them.

There was an address on the reverse but it was difficult to decipher.

It looks like 59 Pourwell Crescent, Colcestershire although having looked on the internet I have been unable to match any part of the address or find a matching shire.

Dear Mrs Lancaster

An old postcard bought at Spitalfields Market, London

No date, but the message reads: Dear Mrs Lancaster, if you can’t come

to the house, why the house has come to see you and also queenie.
