Sixties Kersey and Lavenham in Suffolk?

Definitely Lavenham

Possibly the groom from the wedding photographs or a relative?

Thanks for all the information on location. All I need now is some names to fit faces.

United Methodist Church Demolished?- Katherine Rd East Ham E6.

Where was this church located?

1972?

The trail now leads to Nayland, Larch Grove near Colchester and a Mrs R. Edmond name. I think the family moved here from London?

This slide I really like - timeless

The scout badges on his right arm in the East Ham ones are old Greater London ones - the little blue ones - so that certainly confirms that

I can't remember when they replaced the blue ones with the ones with Tower Bridge on - I imagine the later 70s at some point. Damned, I used to be such a geek...

picture here - no location given. If they are right about it being in E6, that would put it south of the Plashet Grove junction. No church or chapel south of Plashet Grove shown on the (1940) A-Z equivalent which doesn't prove anything, though.

1972?

can't quite make it out, but the sign under the 'no entry' sign looks like it says something about 2 shillings for parking - if so, that would make it a bit earlier.

 

[discokermit]

is that the same bloke? also the groom and the scoutmaster?

he's great.

The first picture of the couple sitting having a picnic, alongside the Morris Oxford reminded me of my Uncle George and Aunt Flo. They both are dead now, but used to do exactly that sort of picnic, and they had that make and colour of car. At first glance I thought it was them, but looking more closely it isn't. It really looks like them though. It brought back fond memories.

Where's the tank parade?

Lord Mayor's Show 1972

Is Peters Hill House in London?

Lord Mayor's Show 1972

Is Peters Hill House in London?

Maybe it used to be but I've never heard of it

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe it's Liverpool. Apparently they have a Lord Mayor's Parade

There is a Petershill and/or Peter's Hill in London. I suspect its the same place but I could be wrong.

Lord Mayor's Show 1972

Is Peters Hill House in London?

The church looks like St. Nicholas Cole Abbey Church (1678), Queen Victoria Street, London EC4

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

The church looks like St. Nicholas Cole Abbey Church (1678), Queen Victoria Street, London EC4

I was going to say it looks like somewhere in The City with a square like that

Never knew that, but I don't know St Paul's area of The City at all

Ok, closest I can to that view on Streetview is from Cannon Street.

Definitely, just viewing it on Google Maps now

eta: Sorry, looking at maps before you posted that

*deletes most of planned post since others have got there first*

I agree about St Nicholas Cole Abbey,

I can find a web reference to redevelopment of Petershill House 30-31 Carter Lane, so I guess most of the 60s concrete isn't there now.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

I'm still convinced the internet was invented for old photo's. Why are they so magical?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

You can see it on Distaff Lane and it has a little set of steps as well. Not sure if it's the back or front or what?

The front appears to be on Distaff Lane.

Yeah, go to on google maps and Distaff Lane. Petershill House has definitely gone.

So far these are the top five from the collection - to me anyway? It is a shame most of the slides are views or buildings without anything to make them stand out. So I have ignored most of the slides including the early 1930's views of Scotland.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

but people may still enjoy them anyway

 

[1927]

The guy next to him doesn't look real. It looks like someone's just cut and pasted someone's head on to his body

The bloke next to him's about 4' tall more like.

Yeah, maybe so, but his head still looks too big for him

Looks like a young Fred west!

 

[irenevdl]

Somewhere in Scotland c1970? I suspect East Ham London now?

Is it possible to email me copies of these scout photos . They are definately East Ham and I think I know some of the people in photos

My favourite of the collection. Captures something of the era that is lost. Quiet roads, deck chairs.
