Fave Piece of Content

Sandra And Eddie Wedding day, 1967-1971, Shared by roo202

Where do I begin with this? The bridesmaids’ dresses are the most amazing colour of pink. Which compliments the white accessories. The bride, Sandra, in a pale blue dress (the most amazing wedding dress I have ever seen) looking very blissful next to her husband Eddie.  The wedding was held at St Edwards, Scot Lane, Wigan. This totally glam photo was shared by roo202.

Fave Story of the Week

York Gasworks Gang - FA cup semi-final day, 1955 26 March 1955, Shared by YorkStories

What a way to celebrate the FA Cup semi-final then to wear a fez – That would be my hat of choice too.  George (right), accompanied by friends, off to see York City v Newcastle, at the Hillsborough grounds, Sheffield. George and friends are posing by the Gasworks building where they worked. I must add how dapper the fellow in the middle is – total Elvis style hair, love it. Shared by YorkStories who has added lots of other great content to the site, definitely worth a browse.

Pinner of the Week

Battle Hospital, Oxford Rd, Reading, 1912, shared by sduggan65

#PINNEROFTHEWEEK is awarded to sduggan65 for his documentation of London and Reading streets. Battle Hospital, 1912 is definitely a fave have from his collection. The photo captures the patients leaving the Reading War Hospital, a man at the back with his arm in a sling, another a little in front with his full uniform on. sduggan also shared his photos of St Pancras Station before the upgrade – one of my fave from the batch St.Pancras Station, London,1996 shows the view of a train shed in the station. Reminds me of my many adventures I have had departing from St Pancras Station. See sduggan65′s full profile here.
