Following up on the tip from the lovely Elisabeth, about 18 months ago I discovered the british memories site with it's wonderful collection of old Francis Frith photos. There's hardly a town or village in England not covered and I have now gained a greater insight as to how my ancestors lived. Does anyone else know of a good site for getting old pics like these?

Hi Peter, I've just tried googling British Memories, but didn't find the website. What is the address?

Peter, Thanks for the compliment! Haven't been called lovely in a very long time!!!!!!! Old, white haired, computer illiterate, but never lovely. Have a nice day! (Or night as the case may be!) Elisabeth xxx (Sorry, I can't remember the website myself now!)

Hi all, I was searching threads for "Old photos" and came across this one which didn't have any responses, I didn't realise it was from 2003, so Peter might not even see it! I will try the Francis Frith site, didn't even think of searching for that! D'oh!
