Hi Roy

Do you have any idea when this was?  My maternal grandad (who died a few months before I was born in 1945) used to deliver things with a horse & cart.  Variously bread, coal & milk, but not all at the same time   

Grandad used to come home in the middle of the day for his dinner and the horse would be outside with a nose bag.  Mum remembered being allowed to sit on the horse when she was little and always described it as 'like sitting across the kitchen table'

Hi Linda
If you look closely at the cart you will see the wording BRIT; the cart belonged to the Jones family of Brithdir who delivered fresh milk daily.  The young boy holding the reins was killed in action in WW1.

Hi Tony
Many thanks for the attempt; certainly better than my effort.  "beggars can't be choses" I know but if possible I would like it to be a little sharper.

Regards, Roy

Best regards to both, Roy

My software is only showing scanned at 72dpi. Is this what everyone else has got?

My system seems to think 96dpi, but I might not be reading the right thing.  A bit new to digital photo stuff
