Once again a full house for our Tuesday evening meeting, even as the room was being prepared folk were arriving early to get a good seat. Paul Sturgess was the speaker with a slide presentation of historical photos entitled Dorset of old. Using a camera with a macro lens Paul had used his photo editing skills to produce in may cases an enhanced image of the postcard, thereby enabling presentation of quality images.
We were treated to an archive of pictorial delights from 19th and early 20th cent Dorset:- Haywain, Ox-carts, Ploughmen, Steam engines, Sheep shearing, Harvesting, Milling, Cider making, Horse sales, Fairs, Paddle Steamers, Dairymen, Butchers Wagon, Ironmongers, Postal workers, Charabancs, Old people, Young children, Bridport, Portland, Wimborne, Bere Regi, Witchampton and much more
Be sure to note our next meeting, one not to be missed!
