Photographs are usually "nice" when first viewed, but I have always held that they do not become "interesting" until they are at least five years old. On this web page I will be displaying mostly scanned copies of old photographs. I started using a digital camera about 2003, so the images must comply with my "five year" qualification rule.

I will number the photos, putting 100 (the maximum I can) on each page. On this page I will state who is in each photo - in the case of people I recognise. Where I have failed to recognise some faces, your help in idenentifying them would be much appreciated.

If you have some interesting old photos for display I would appreciate a brief loan - they will be treated with great care and returned immediately!

It will take me some time to enter the photo details on this page, so please bear with me.
