Photos of Flo' & The Children

Lent - Day 2

A photo from the Past

This photograph was taken presumably by my Great Grandfather in approximately 1911. The big slab of a building on the left of the photograph is the old Bay Hotel which I remember in my childhood. There was an extention built in 1910 which is visible in the photograph. My Grandfather Frank, the little boy on the left was born in 1900. I love the the outfit which Flo' considers suitable beach attire but interestingly her daughter is allowed to show her legs. The little boy's jacket looks a little formal too. I wonder how long they had to sit for this 'snap shot'.

My grateful thanks to Ben Proctor (@Likeaword) who has patiently showed me the internal workings of my Blog page and web site so hopefully it will be a little more user friendly.
