I haven't got a photo to post but my sister and I just spent a lot of Friday going through loads of our late Mum's stuff and one of things we found was called a Daguerrotype which was the first publicly available photographic process from the 1840s & 1850s but was more or less completely superseded in the 1860s by cheaper processes so we know that it is probably at least 170 years old. A Daguerrotype is printed on a piece of silver plated copper.

That’s brilliant D.
Back in October Dai Slee up in Baglan bought an Ensign box camera in the boot sale for £5, he bought a film and he took some photos of St Catharine’s Church and they are brilliant considering the camera was built around 1927, nearly 100 years ago.

Amazed he found a film for it! I thought it would be easier to find an old box camera in a boot sale than a film for it! I can remember we had a box camera when I was very little in the mid-50s and lived in Three Cliffs Drive in Pennard. Don't think is was as old as 1927 though if we were using it in the 50s.

I've got to fly up back to my Mam's house on Tuesday for a meeting with the funeral director and I'll bring the daguerrotype back and have a better look at it, meanwhile, here's an old picture from 1942 - it's of my Dad aged 23 and my Mam aged 19.

Found this photograph amongst some of my Mam's stuff, of some unremarkable houses in Llansteffan. This would have been taken some time between 1949 and 1952. The one marked with an X is where I was born in 1952!

This is what they look like now

Stunning.
