My mother as a little girl.
I had never seen this photo until this week when my mum sent me a bundle of photos she had found whilst sorting through their belongs (as they are moving).

My grandfather as a young man (my mothers father)
Didn't he have very fine features?
He wore those starched shirts almost all his life - they must have dug into his neck line.

He was a chemist and owned a chemicals factory which was sold when he died, I was about 7 years old.

  1. That collar looks terrible!!
    I thought my grandfather ran the factory for awhile... or am I mistaken??
    Your mother was cute as a little girl :)

  2. Oh! Oh! What wonderful pictures! Your mother was such a cute little girl, and her father very handsome. Isn't it amazing how uncomfortable clothing used to be? Yet everyone looked so nice in it....
