    It's a bit spooky, in a good sort of a way, to be able to put names to faces on these old photos. I always wonder what happened to them. Did they have descendants who look like them? Were they cannon fodder in WW1? etc.
  • BobMeade said:
    Yes. The book to which I and pellethepoet refer actually traces many of the family members who lived in various houses in The Rocks area - but we don't know of their futures, nor their descendants. Also I now realise that pellethepoet already made the same discovery before me and put the information in a note at the right of the photo.

    The item in the window is possibly a pie. My grandmother used to cool her home made pies on the windowsill before storing.

    This is fantastic!!

    A nice 1970's image. I find it interesting that the adult male is also wearing "flares". Where I come from he would have been considered an old guy trying to look young.

    Fascinating stuff... at first I thought the photo was taken in the 1930s, then I noticed the boy is wearing bell bottoms!

    Great very 'Steptoe & Son' when the tv series ran?
  • Gosforth Photography said:
    Absolutely love this. Street photography at it's peak. "Oi, tinker. Fancy posing for a few minutes while I get set up and if you don't mind, put your best menacing face on?" . I could imagine doing that now with a couple of grands worth of stuff strapped to your back in the current climate?
