Right then, I can now reveal that the owner showed me the following three photo albums:-
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I opened them but was pleasantly surprised by the faded old photos inside! I had a quick look through them all and then asked him if I could take pictures of his pictures! He seemed bemused by the idea but agreed, so I spent the next 10 minutes or so struggling to get my damned iPhone camera to focus on the photos. The quality of my reproductions is therefore crap but hopefully they still give you a flavour of the find. I'm going to start a separate thread for each of the three albums to keep things simple!
