Hi Pru,

I have just found this page and find this idea of victorian photo site tremendous but could not get into it. 
I wondered if you have any old photo's of travelliing theatre folk on there?  My family were the Wells and they had a portable theatre, movong around the midlands for about 2 half decades or more.  Joseph Wells and his wife Maria were my grea greats and i would love to know what they looked like;  Eise
Burton Latimer; Isham; Rushden; Raunds; Great Addington;
Cheshire; Northants; Bedfordshire; Hereford;

As far as I remember, there are no pictures of travelling folk amongst the photos I have, at least not specifically - there are hundreds of unnamed people in the photos, but nothing that says "traveller" to me  :-\  Hopefully one day soon you'll be able to look through them for yourself!  We are still waiting, though... :'(

Hi Pru

What a wonderful collection, thank you so much for sharing them with us.  There is something about old photographs, far better than todays so called photographers and this collection is a joy to view.  Well done and thanks for posting them.
