I have identified a gate in Stresa, Italy, 2 scenes from Venice,  one of the Borromeo Islands in Lago Maggiore, a couple of images of the Fountains Abbey ruins in England, Liverpool Cathedral, Ripon Cathedral, North Yorkshire, St. Mary The Virgin, Church of England Norman Church. Ascot (not royalty... horses aren't white and the carriage is different). Lamb Close house and environs. Lamb Close servants, I'm guessing. Barber family playing tennis. I'm worried about the little blond girl in the grouping on the steps because I don't know the time frame and I know one of the girls met with an accident. Number 30 shows the bell ropes in what I think might be Iffley Chapel. Brings to mind "The Nine Tailors" by Dorothy Sayers. I found ID in Ripon for the exact choir stall carving from Ripon... The whole thing has been a 30 year odyssey. I haven't been able to work on the images as much as I might like. I have the time now and I'd like to recreate as many of the images as I can. I have photographed from the exact spot of one of the Venice photographs. I don't have the exact spots for Lago Maggiore and the Borromeo Islands but the ID of those came from photographs I had made on travels there. For me it has been fascinating to see what someone photographed in that time period. I'm also curious how they came to be in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thank you Cliff. This is probably a better way for me. Exciting to be able to share these with someone who has some interest in what I'm talking about. There is reference to other images that have been shared. Is there some way I can get access to those? Have nice day.

I've communicated with Tom Barber, but I thought I'd drop this in for all of you. I was given as a gift 41 glass plates negatives by a friend who is an interior designer. He had purchased a chest here in the USA which came from England. In the chest was a small wooden box which contained these negatives. I've researched the images on and off for years and I have found most of the depicted locations; a few from Italy, travel, a few of tennis being played at Lamb Close (presumably by the members of the Barber family), Liverpool Cathedral, St. Mary The Virgin, Church of England, Ripon, etc. I wish I had more time to devote to the research. Dr. John Worthen, Professor Emeritus from The University of Nottingham, helped me with some locations. Very generous of him. He is a D. H.Lawrence scholar and the Lamb Close house figures in several of Lawrence's writings. I would post an image but the size requirements are so stringent that it wouldn't be useful. If we can find a forum which supports bigger files I can share the scanned images.
