A Blast from the Past: May 2013
http://sepia-black-and-wight.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A Blast from the Past. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Taplow Court - Part 2. I remember that first weekend in April ‘68 as if it were yesterday. You see, I found myself boarded for the week in a very strange sort of ‘run-down’ riverside hotel, which had obviously seen better days. Old lace curtains, musty carpets and limp faded pot-plants: you know the sort of thing. The personnel dept. had sent me all the details so I had no good reason not to follow it up. I rang this lady advertising ‘room for single gen...

A Blast from the Past: April 2012
http://sepia-black-and-wight.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A Blast from the Past. Friday, April 6, 2012. Why a new blog? And what am I going to write about here? Well, since I have been sorting through the hundreds of old prints and negatives ‘inherited’ from my parents and grandparents, I have found that there are many that don’t fall into the category - ‘my early days of childhood’, but are still interesting, or maybe interesting to future generations. Suffered in her stays.". Here, is the answer. Aunty Gladys - 1905. All photography involved taking. 8216;nega...

A Blast from the Past: All Dressed Up.
http://sepia-black-and-wight.blogspot.com/2012/12/all-dressed-up.html
A Blast from the Past. Monday, December 3, 2012. Do you remember when ‘Fancy dress’ parties were all the rage? They don’t seem to be quite as popular these days - but perhaps I’m not now ‘moving in the right circles’? We were always having them at our Youth club way back in Bournville around 1964 and they were extremely popular in my early days at Taplow (1968-74). The first one off, is of Dad and Stan (with a fox stole). Looking a right pair of pansies! Stan and Dad as. Here’s the answer. This, believe ...

A Blast from the Past. Friday, October 12, 2012. Taplow Court - Part 1. 1968. To make a change from the ‘Family archive’ pictures, I thought I may,. On this post step back just a mere 44 years to 1968. The 30th of March 1968, to be precise. The old Morris 1000 was parked outside my bed-sit loaded up with a suitcase,. A tape recorder and a brother. For the previous two or three years I had been living here, in a bed-sit in Laburnum Rd. My bed-sit was in the house just in the picture on the left. I had gra...

A Blast from the Past: A Christmas Long-Gone
http://sepia-black-and-wight.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-christmas-long-gone.html
A Blast from the Past. Thursday, December 27, 2012. The only Christmassy bit we have is a cinefilm my Mother took on her 8mm movie camera. My brother has had it converted to a VHS tape and I am planning to convert it yet again, this time to a DVD. Some of the filming must have been done down here in Buckinghamshire, as I recognise several of the churches shown. The church at Fingest, Buckinghamshire. The Church of St Bartholomew, Fingest. This famous church sits at the centre of a historic village. Fine ...

A Blast from the Past: The 1920's and 30's in Linden Road.
http://sepia-black-and-wight.blogspot.com/2012/05/1920s-and-30s-in-linden-road.html
A Blast from the Past. Thursday, May 10, 2012. The 1920's and 30's in Linden Road. This first large picture shows at least three generations. Luckily, someone has written all the names on the back. Although, when I say names, not full names, just things like Uncle Bert and Aunty Ada. Finding out who is married to who, and to whom the children belong, will be a task for the future. The two centrally seated family members are of course my Great-grandfather and Great-grandmother. (striped cardigan). My moth...
