crisispoint Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Thank you, I don't recognize anyone but I love the photos, and the idea that employers wanted to preserve a record of their staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hoyland Posted September 23 Author Share Posted September 23 I just thought that somebody might recognise a Grandfather/Grandmother or even a Great Grandfather/Grandmother!

echo beach Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 Very interesting Richard. One or two look a bit like my maternal grandfather but I couldn’t be certain. Cloth caps, braces and waistcoats were almost mandatory for the male blue collar workers and suits and ties for the office staff. Moustaches were also in fashion. It’s people like these who grafted to make Britain Great. We owe them a great deal. How times change. echo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
