If I remember rightly these boxes were made o aluminium and if you left them on a pier now our travelling friends would have them all away to the scrappy!
youll no hae any bother wi copyright seeing its in the family
Asked him first all though I dont think I have met Peter but he asked if I wanted more so looks good for some crackers , you wouldnt believe the quality after 42 years and not being digital , they are spot on Mack did you look at the rest of his pics there was a black and white one with my mum her brother and Peter as kids in Cooper Park and she has hardly changed since then
just goes to show what a wee hunt on google turns up!! as you say picture quality is brilliant, and i did see the one wi the bairns! its good to look back
cracking quality pics indeed. Must have had a half decent camera and shot them on slide film by the look of it - good old kodachrome.
back then the price of processing by kodak was included in the cost of the film and the slides were posted back in glass slide mounts which is probably why they are in such good nick (or someones been at em in photoshop!)

bet the guy on the left only paid aboot 3 bob fir hiz guy cottens
although things might of been /seemed cheaper then, the oilskin breeks would posssibly of been about 7.10shillings.
for your 3 bob then you would of gotten a doz rolls,
now its more than 5 bob for 1 roll =26p
a doz rolls now cost you 3 pound.
