I have been collecting vintage photos and prints for the last few years.
I am very interested in how our grandparents and great grandparents lived.
I live in Cornwall on the border of Devon,hence my interest in these two
beautiful counties.Derby is my hometown.
Its amazing how time seemed to stand still between 1880-1910,then with
two World Wars things changed rapidly.I think the last 80 years we have seen
so much progress i.e. telephone,television and computers etc.
Whether it is for the better,I wonder? It's amazing what can be found in
peoples attics: Photo Albums,Old Pictures,Vintage Photos etc.
I would like to share these pictures with you.
View them in the Old Photos portfolio.
I hope you find the pictures interesting and they bring back a few forgotten memories.
