Some Old Kodak Kodachrome Slides

[stowpirate]

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

If you stopped on the verge like that now the police would ask you to move on!

Yes, I liked that one too.
It reminds me SO much of family picnics in the 60's

I see Kodak have now discontinued all their slide film, not just Kodachrome.

Those concrete slopes remind me of some concrete slopes on beaches around Southend

Was there not a lab in Switzerland still developing kodachrome or has that now gone as well:

Could be as the family was possibly from London

Not sure as there's a little concrete ledge/walkway/something at the bottom of the slope. Can't remember those

Not sure - I thought all the chemicals had run out now, early last year. There do seem to be people like http://www.processc22.co.uk/ who offer B&W processing for Kodachrome... there was some talk about getting the Impossible Project to try Kodachrome processing, but they said "no we have enough trouble just making Polaroid film".

My nanna had 90% of that kitchen. The nozzle taps, the plastic drying mat. The wooden handle dishmop, the glasses with plastic bases, the blue sink unit, the gas oven with the grill hood that gave the place the smell of gas and toast.

Thanks for sharing

Not convinced. Look too steep for my liking

 

[albionism]

Could be Clacton

 

[stowpirate]

Could be Clacton

Some of the family lived at Nayland, which is near Clacton

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Canvey possibly?

 

[mr steev]

Could be Clacton

Doesn't Clacton have a sandy beach? The pic has lots of shale

 

[hammerntongues]

definitely more like Canvey than S-O-S the seawall there is much steeper and higher for obvious reasons , though clearly it could be anywhere

This was taken at the St Georges day parade in East Ham, when once a year all the Newham scout troops would attend a church service at the old St Bartholomews church (now gone and rebuilt again new) and then we would all march down the Barking Road to the Town Hall parading our colours. I cant identify what troop the main guy is from, perhaps they were from Forest Gate where the wedding is shot. I was in the 24th East London that met in St Michaels on Tilbury Road quite a distance from Forest Gate for an 8 year old.

Well blow me down. I never knew such a thing existed.

I've just ordered one from Amazon for delivery tomorrow and will spend Saturday scanning the hundreds of my dad's slides that haven't seen daylight for almost 40 years.

Cheers.

Will you be taking the opportunity to accidentally damage any particularly awful ones of baby Cunty Si?
