About
Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!
We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia .
We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details
A group stand outside the village post office in 1906. The girl has a very swish-looking bicycle!
In the 1901 census, the residents are listed as Frederick and Sarah Samways. Sarah would have been 55 at the time of this photograph, so that could feasibly be her just inside the gate. The Samways had three daughters, Mary Jane, Susan and Rosalie, who would have been around 17, 15 and 14 at the time this picture was taken, so one or more of them could be here.
The bicycle looks brand new, and very a la mode for the time...
