Bridlington, c.1910

Bridlington, c.1910 - Click for next image


This is one photo I definitely did not take! It shows the Yorkshire coast town of Bridlington, in about 1910 judging by the clothes. Some years ago I came across a box of old glass plates in a junk shop. Most of them were of poor quality or of boring subjects, and this was about the best of them. There is a small amount of damage in the sky area, but apart from that, it is very good quality. I have made excellent 20"x16" prints from this negative.
If the photographer would like to come forward I will gladly give him a credit.......

Update! - It has been suggested to me by one of my visitors (thanks Keith), that this photo may be the work of John Taylor Allerston, (1828-1914), a marine artist and one of the first photographers in the area.
