Gives actual addresses for the photographers

Clock on Monmouthshire, then scroll down to 'D' for Dura


Seems there were 3 branches in Newport.  Also in
Pontypool


Just off to find a map to see how far away Blaenavon is

The last known address on CWGC is Blaenavon, Mon

Does this tie up with a branch of the photographers?

(Edited: sorry posts crossed)

Scrimnet doubts very much that it is regimental colours...

He has sent this link of references though
http://www.frontiernet.net/~ericbush/MiSh/Regt.html

Also - don't forget that the material is old and the colours tend to change over the years so reds become orange and blues become green etc

Personally I doubt the regimental colour theory and I think it is just nice striped material

I wonder if Nicholas senior or Florence feature in any of the old ones? (Eg brass band 1913)
