The Dance Demo

 

Again, I'm clueless.

The Slide markings said "1965 William E Baskett", but Googling that didn't turn up anything obvious.

Bonus - Germany, apparently

( Not Norfolk )

 


No info on the slide, other that a date Sept 1961 but 'm 99.9% sure that this isn't just outside Norwich.

I'm 96.1% certain that it's not even the UK. Canada perhaps?

A Winter WonderLand

 

Just a nice image today. The slide is dated January 1959, but other than that ... Nada.  So, just enjoy the image.

Desert Flower

 OK. Let's get back to "normal"

Quite a stunning bloom, innit.

Still enjoying doing these

"The New Home"

 

That's all that was on the slide "The New Home".

No information on when (I'm guessing 1970), where (guessing Telford new town) or who (guess Trevor and Madilyn). 

maybe someone has more info....   maybe not.

Bonus - 

( Yes, an old joke. )

Fishing Boats

 

Sometimes, I just appreciate a slide for what it is ... a captured memory of a distant time.

This one is from the Beryl Blood collection, in a box marked as "Blackpool". This is not Blackpool.

It's marked as "Jun-1964 Part of Harbour Bandol", so South of France. Before the Jet Set really got their claws into it.

You can fill in the rest of the joke in your own time.

Kevin? Is that you?

 

Fundraising for the St Mark's Parish Church in Alrewas is a serious subject, but the annual Vicars and Vamps party is the community highlight for many.

Rev Kevin Flattley ("The Rev Kev") really does make an effort, and is unrecognisable as Doreen "Bury me in a Y-Shaped Coffin" Bradley.

Bonus - Magnetic Cows

A Floating Dry-Dock?

 

Curious. This box had a series of Slide Mounts, each with a 35mm Black and White negative mounted in them. How rare. The seller claimed that they dated from 1937...and that might be reasonable.

This image had no description, but appears to be a floating dry-dock, so... COULD be the USS ARD-1. Or maybe something else.

Suburban Boating

 

Proof that you don't need the sea (or even water) to get the family to enjoy boating.

Another Half-Frame slide, and for some reason I think this might be in Wales.
