You are bidding on A JOB LOT OF VINTAGE PHOTOS

These vary in date from the1900s to the 1950.

These came to me with hundreds of photos from one extended family – the Jones's/Tripp Family of Bristol and the Dunne's of Cardiff.
I know that during the World War One period, the Dunne family were living at
Loudon Gardens, Cardiff Docks. I also know that, during the 1950s, a member of the family had links with the Tawe Choral Society

There is a photo in here (the young woman in the R.A.F. Cap,which has the name and address 'Dyke, 38 Great George St, Which is in Bristol

In addition From processing wallets, I know that others among these are from a Bristol family with the surname 'Jones'.

To give an idea of scale, the Largest photo top left measures approximately 8 ½” x 6 ½”

I think that most of the seaside photos are taken around Somerset and Devon, particularly Weston-Super-Mare, Torquay, Ilfracombe

    Your ever Loving Wife, Beattie”

  34. 1940s: Two men, one younger than the other. I think this is a 'Young man with his parents' shot. She is the older woman from the earlier pics.
    If I am correct, I think she is the girl in the RAF cap from pic 3, and he, the man from the R.A.F.A. Presentation in pic 10. from pic mother. Again she is also the older woman from several shots, in her younger days

I have tried to mention any obvious flaws in the listings above, apart from this and some light buffeting commensurate with their relative age, they are in excellent condition with no rips, tears or album damage.
