Miracle workers, dating, restore & possibly colour?
« on: Tuesday 22 April 08 20:39 BST (UK) »
Hi all clever technical and knowledgable people :D

This is a photo of my Great Grandfather William Satchwell, I have no idea when it was taken  but it looks like it was taken outside. He was an 'Ag Lab' I know that much from the census - but he doesn't look a barrel of laughs does he? :)

He was born in 1857, but apart from this photo and possibly one other I know very little about him.

Any insight much appreciated.

Hi Liz

You're welcome.  So hard to say really, a wild guess 1920s??
