Some fascinating stuff! Shame we don't know who the people are.

Can anyone recognise the land for sale?

Quite a few mystery people unfortunately, but interesting all the same.

Just one box of slides to go now.

A special treat today on the Virtual Tour, as I've uploaded images from the first of four boxes of glass slides provided by a gentleman called Alan McDowell.

As well as the new images and close-ups here:

It has allowed the following pictures that were already on the Tour to be updated with much better versions:

A very BIG thank you to Alan for saving these slides from the dustbin, finding the Virtual Tour on-line and sending them to me.

I hope to get the rest of the slides on-line during this week, so what this space!
