Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 As this thread seems to have become sub-titled "Old photos of your relatives" here's my contribution. The lady on the right was my grandmother, and I believe - not certain - the old lady in the middle was her mother. I've chosen this photo because of its location; there's an obvious clue with local connections in the background. The date has to be pre-1930. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Skegness? Clock tower in the background. Don't you just love the expression on the lady's face in the middle?; they all look so happy at having their photograph taken. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,328 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I was hoping that members would post pictures of themselves at the age they would like to be when they post nostalgic on topics. come on gang - how about some photos of yourselves as teenagers/twenties?
