These are amazing.
Is it just me…or do you look for people in old photographs who look like you….just me then? Oh…ok.

I love how the schoolgirl rowing spectators all have completely different expressions but they are all equally unimpressed!

Fantastic images! I was inherited with old (obviously! :) photos from my Grandmother’s side of the family, and have been thinking of doing a weekly post with them – thanks for helping me make up my mind that it’s a good idea! :)

These pictures make me wonder if people were happier without TV, internet and so on. Activities were social and got people outside and excercising. Not to mention you probably had 8 brothers and sister to play with!
Nice selection :)
