Definately a great idea, I have so many photos of my Grandparents with people they used to work with on the farms in Lincolnshire and many old photos of people from villages in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, many are not our relatives, Grandad was a keen photographer so was always taking photos of places/people for them.

Brill idea - I particular for photos where we have a name for the photo subject but have no idea who they are!! (of which I have dozens and dozens lol) You know how on the backs of old photos it sometimes gives the studio name and the number of the image and proudly says a copy can be had at any time!! Does anyone know any old negatives from any Victorian photographers have ever survived?? I have always assumed the answer would be NO, but there's some very knowledgeable people on this site who might know if I'm wrong......... Sarah

Hi Angie I think it's a very good idea to have photographs on this site - after all, you can put your photo on Friends Reunited and it's the same group of companies. There is a good site that has old photographs on it - www.curiousfox(.)com which someone else has just put up a thread about. Mandy :)

Ann Just sent them one,I'll see what the reply is and let you all know. Fingers crossed but not holding my breath. I just think it would add more interest to an already great site. Angie x

Joy Yeh I do have that site but just thought it would be good to have all in one place. When you say suggested was genes asked for it? Angie x

Joy Report 15 Jun 2005 10:19

It's been suggested, I believe, several times. It's a good idea. Do you have the site for the GC photos page? :-) Joy

If people are really interested I will put idea forward. This site is already great but I think it has the potential to be even better if people's suggestions were taken into account. The people on this site know what they want from it. Angie x
