Nice one Mike, great 60's photos. Any piece of
history is greatly admired I assure you.Your site is a great
inspiration for an idea that is going on in the back of my head. I am
not a photographer or a budding amateur and my idea is nothing new
really. I think more people should take it up, though, seeing as cameras
are quite readily available.
Recent property trends in London mean a lot of humble, fairly
practical and simple historical constructions are giving way to modern
developments. I live in Wood Green and on my local journeys I see little
clips of history which I really like. Just a simple old garage or
dilapidated shed still shows the character of the 60's, if not before
this time. There are old confectionery machines, old railway mileposts,
old lampposts, old signage, you name it... If you look hard enough
there's still a bit of history around and I might start taking photos of
these simple objects just to chronicle something and keep a bit of the
past - which is being gobbled up fast!
Thanks for sharing your photos. Don't worry too much about replying
because emailing is not my forte and actually all this technology can be
quite time consuming sometimes. I just wanted to compliment your website
and to tell you to keep the good work up!
