neg. Girls out in Cefn Betty, Marian Nancy Wms, ?, Brenda, Mavis, Nancy Ellis

Narrative

From Margaret Wells Christmas 2009. These are photos from Gwladys's archive, passed on through Brenda Wells. Margaret photographed many negatives with a macro lens and a light box to recover these. Emrys picked out the useful ones, photoshopped them to fix exposure problems, and labelled them in Picasa. Margaret checked the labels. The ones with a filename "neg..." were copied from negatives for which no print existed.

Narrative

Two superb pictures of Williamses in the street in Cefn Coed (Brenda Wells says).

Picture 1: Betty Ellis, who352, who353, Marian E T Thomas(complaining), Nancy Williams daughter of DJ, who354, Brenda daughter-of-Gwladys, Mavis Williams daughter-of-DJ, Nancy Ellis

Picture 2:
who400, Mavis Williams in spots, who401 tiny, Nancy Ellis stripes looking down, Betty Ellis plain dress, Brenda daughter-of-Gwladys flowery dress, Nancy Williams, who402 with dog, who354.

Judging from the apparent age of Brenda daughter-of-Gwladys, the photos were taken in about 1939. Brenda was famously in Cefn Coed on the day WW2 was declared.
