Another job lot of glass plate negatives from Feepay. I do like a good job lot as you never know whats you are going to find in amongst the various plates.
These are a mix of quarter plates and 5×4 glass negs. Mostly english, I say mostly as you’ll see theres one that is a just a little different to the usual English country, town portrait pics…
So here you go, some we’ve identified as Carlisle and Lincoln, maybe you can recognise some of the buildings and streets, if so just let me know.
I’ve only ever driven past this once, and thought it looked familiar, its opposite Lincoln Cathedral.
This is the High Street in Droitwich Spa.
And Droitwich does have a Lido still, and this sign on the left says The Brine Baths Park…
And someone must recognise this…
This one is quite distinctive…
Yes that is a monkey!
A Lifeboat station…
And then there is this amazing negative in amongst it all.
Carlisle old Town Hall
A school??
And this is a little peculiar…
Pictures number 7, 8 and 16 are Great Malvern. The view up the street and the fancy gateway, and a view down on a church in the middle of the picture.
The black and white building is the Chase Hotel, Coventry
The school is Carlisle Grammar school and belongs to the hall with the tracery window (it matches the outside). The river looks very like several we have of the Carlisle to Dalston area. Mine are of the Caldew river. The interior cathedral window is Carlisle cathedral’s east window.
