Large Group in Front of a Wall

Again a formal occassion, this time against the garden wall, I wonder if Maude is in there? Avril Baker comments: “If you look carefully at this plate, you can detect that the formal occasion is a wedding party. The bride and groom are in the center, and girls at front are flower girls each are holding flower sprays and the men have flowers on their lapels. If you know where roughly the area where the plate came from, you could maybe look at old churches in that area to give you a clue to where maybe the garden was. It was likely to have been a grand house as the people are quite well dressed.”

Group of Eight

A very formally dressed group, but where when and whom? I wonder what the ladder was for, or perhaps it was over looked.

Loftus Viaduct

This view of Loftus or Kilton Viaduct was taken before 1913 and the filling in of the structure with shale from the mine. At the left of the viaduct the calcining kilns at the Liverton Mine can be seen, whilst in the very foreground the weir providing water to power Kilton Mill further down stream is also visible.
