Lovely pictures keen, you have a little family tree there. I can only go back to grandparents, but I know how nice it is to know what they all looked like. Thank you for sharing them with us.

They are great pics keen.

This one is of my uncle's late wife and their sidecar.  I used to ride in it with her while my uncle was on the motorbike.  The dog, Max, was the son of our boxer.  He was absolutely solid and greeted me very enthusiastically, knocking me down aged 4!

Boxers - my favourites!  I was virtually brought up by ours!  Lovely pic - I had a ride in a sidecar like that a few times.  Quite an experience!

Did our courting on a moto bike AJS
but no side car
We had it up to 1960 when it had to go as I became pregnant and was not allowed to go on it again
Pity cause we did enjoy it got a photo some where
The money went to buy a coble (boat ) and that was the start of the fishing on our marriage

Gee Pentio, this is proof that you even had to queue to use the outside loo in the 1940's

Hi,

This is a picture of my grandad sitting in school with his class round about 1910.

Two lovely photos, Magrat.
That schoolroom looks so much like mine...the desks, the stepped floor, the big windows, and look at them all sitting with their hands behind them to pull their shoulders back.
Things didn't change much for a long long time.
