Seven men and their horses take a break from searching for the needle.

For those watching in black and white, the blue ball is behind the pink .

For Tonji especially, who I know enjoys pictures from bygone days, you really should take a look at the pics in "thetimesonline". Go to "picture galleries", then "Historic Pictures from The Times archive".

Here's a few I particularly enjoyed.

This one is in London, 1949 I think.

lol, I'm constantly using their archives for research.

Years ago (in olden days) pre digital, the greatest place was the Hulton Picture Library, a vast warehouse, with miles of carefully filed & catalogued photographs, now bought by Getty Images. www.hultongetty.com.

I now work alot with the Photographers & Archives at Magnum, www.magnumphotos.com

Incidentally Tikay, both yourself & Red-Dog are doing a great job with your photographs documenting your lives. Todays photographs are tomorrows documents of our lives, it completes the picture if you see what I mean.

Thinly veiled 'if anyone is struggling with what to get me for Christmas' post imo.

In the Gypsy photograph, it looks like they've just arrived to me. There's no fire-ring, the drawbar is down, & there's no steps leading into the Caravan. Probably on land they expect to be moved off shortly.

Amazing what you can learn by observation.

*Waits for Red to tell TK his observations are way off the mark*

Sigh..

The SHAFTS!   The shafts are still attached, not "The drawbar is down"

Apart from that, very good.

Amazingly this video is 110 years old!

I live just below where the train stops, station and tracks long gone but makes a great walk to Woolacombe!
