More from the Essex album

A few more photographs from the 1920s family album i bought on a whim on eBay. As Clacton-on-Sea features in a number of the photographs i have made the assumption it was a family from Essex who once owned the album. It might not be of course, and if you recognise any of the photos let me know!

Farm animals feature in a number of photos including these lovely cows. This makes me think the album once belonged to a farming family. We need to be always wary of assumptions of course, it could easily be the family were city folk and the photographer just liked taking photographs in the countryside!


Assuming this lovely car belongs to the family then they probably were pretty well off.


This photograph is unfortunately uncaptioned but shows a wedding cake (another photograph shows the cake a bit more clearly).

Finally another photograph from Clacton-on-Sea, this shows the Venetian bridge and the pier behind it. Both are still extant.
