Druids at Wetton C Hall

 

That was all that was on the slide, and the slide was in a box of Wetton - Then and now slides.

Probably a slide of an earlier photo...but could just be a modern recreation.

Anyhoo, I suspect the location is the carpark of The Royal Oak pub.

Happy Winter Solstice, Druids !

Bonus - Unexpected Winnie-The-Pooh.

Old Wetton Post Office

 

Yes, I know that this one is a bit of a cheat. A 35mm Slide of an earlier (much earlier) photograph. From the other slides in the box, the original photos seem to be late 40's early 50's....but what do I know.

The slide box was marked Wetton in Derbyshire, but that wasn't a surprise. I recognised many of the locations, and Wetton retains it's rural charm to this day.

In fact, here's the same view more recently, courtesy of Google Streetview.  Wetton PO

Wetton CoE School - Class Photo

 

Today,  we have image information !  Yay !

From a box of slides of old and new Wetton (village in Derbyshire/Staffordshire) this was one of the Old Ones, and was marked "Wetton Village School 1930 - Mrs Bould of Buxton"

Nice. 

Bonus - Aw crap.  RIP Julee Cruise.
