Where Did That Year Go?

 

Well time has flown by and I still haven’t finished working on the glass negatives.

Here are three more from the collection.

More Glass Fashions

More fashion shots from the glass plate collection

Some more results

Some results identifying the places in previous posts.

Eynsford in Kent

Rye Mill in Sussex

Rochester Cathedral

WWI Memorial, Canterbury

Great Gate, Trinity College, Cambridge.

Thanks to Mary and Kirstin for their research work (that it what you do isn’t it?).

There are still a few more to identify and I would really like some dates for the fashions.

First Result

The first result in my quest for information. I am reliably informed (thanks Kirstin) that the castle shown in image DWB-268

is Bodiam Castle, East Sussex.

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,
