Today I have some more examples from the collection of glass plates I was given recently.
Does anyone recognise the locations?
Ref: DWB-23
Ref: DWB-102
Ref: DWB-164
Ref: DWB266
Ref: DWB-268
Ref: DWB-298
Ref: DWB-299
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,
DWB-164 seems like it might be Eynsford, Kent. This site has a similar photo: http://www.oldukphotos.com/kent-eynsford.htm
ReplyDeleteCould 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?
ReplyDeleteDWB-268 - Bodium Castle??
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI think the cathedral is Rochester, windows and towers with river in background all look about right
ReplyDeleteDWB-102 looks a lot like Rye windmill with diffeernt blades
ReplyDeleteDWB-268 looks like Bodium Castle
ReplyDeleteDWB-298 is an internal wall of the wall around canterbury cathedral with first world war memorial
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the comments / locations. Keep them coming.
ReplyDeleteFinally 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
ReplyDeleteOn 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?
