Two of my very earliest additions to my collection. A farmer & his wife.
If only I knew who they were & what are the crops?
Does anyone recognise them?

After visiting Barrington House NT yesterday we popped into #Ilminster for a wander, despite having quite a few #OldPostcards for sale, I only came away with these two gorgeous #TeddyBears 🧸 🧸 (Bill & Ben) to add to my Teddy Bear gang🥰 #BarringtonHouseNT #MarketHouseIlminster

Another interesting group picture from my early years of collecting, I’ve always loved family groups & this one looks like the family with the elder woman’s carer & of course their puss 🐈‍⬛ 😊 #OldPostcards #OldPhotos #FamilyHistory

Everyone seems to have slightly different opinions, which is always great including an archeological study 🤔

Lynns Waffles Pics @lynnswafflespics.bsky.social · 29d

This group pic I found over ten years ago back in my early years of collecting. Looks like amateur dramatics outside, some smiley faces 😊 #OldPostcards #OldPhotos #FamilyHistory

They look like rags but maybe for use as tea towels?

Lynns Waffles Pics @lynnswafflespics.bsky.social · Sep 13

This pic in my collection still puzzles me 🤔It’s certainly not those gents in their smart suits that are camping ⛺️ ideas? #OldPostcards #OldPhotos #FamilyHistory

It’s very likely the settings on your scanner are not right 🤔try different settings or read through them to find the correct one.

Lynns Waffles Pics @lynnswafflespics.bsky.social · Sep 13

I love them too! I always scan mine front & back & I too collect photographers from my home town. I’ve been collecting old photos for many years now but it does become an obsession!😄

Last one of my little group from #Ireland & it’s another CDV from John Mack of #Coleraine but with a plainer back than yesterday.
An older lady today & she’s beautifully dressed 😊#OldPhotos #FamilyHistory

Another unnamed from my little group. Such a lovely back on this CDV, again from #Coleraine #Ireland
John Mack (Artist) & photographer, was here from 1864 & then he moved to 84 York St, Belfast by about 1875.
