Where were these glass plates exposed?

Today I have some more examples from the collection of glass plates I was given recently.

Does anyone recognise the locations?

I look forward to your comments.

I have finished the initial scan of the glass plates, all 314 of them.

One of the plates has a label containing the date 17-09-1914, so some of them may be older than I first thought.

I’ll post some more soon, showing some of the fashions and hairstyles again,

  1. DWB-164 seems like it might be Eynsford, Kent. This site has a similar photo: http://www.oldukphotos.com/kent-eynsford.htm

  2. Could DWB-102 be Rye Mill? The sails are different now but it has similar buildings round it and is next to a railway line, any ideas?

  3. DWB-268 - Bodium Castle??

  4. I am pretty sure DWB-164 is Eynsford. My parents used to take us there for picnics 45 or so years ago and we children used to paddle and catch crayfish in under the banks.

  5. I think the cathedral is Rochester, windows and towers with river in background all look about right

  10. Finally found DWB-23. It's in Cambridge, I don't know the name of the actual location but just further down the river behind the trees to the left you would find the Bridge of Sighs. this is the only place I could find that shows both bridges: http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-photo/jcastellan/on_holiday/1164472200/cambridge_042.jpg/tpod.html

  11. On the same theme DWB-23 might be St. John's Bridge and DWB-299 might be Clare Bridge, also in Cambridge. Any Cambridge people out there that can confirm this?
