@PaulSuttonKing That's an interesting point, thanks

Can anyone here get a good approximation of date for this image, perhaps from the cars? It's an early original colour transparency/slide mounted like a lantern slide, but I'm wondering how early?

[James Morley @PhotosOfThePast]

@GibboTheMD Yes, it is. I thought I'd mentioned that but see that I completely forgot! I live in Dunster, hence the particular interest in this one

@StreetRadnor @OnePlaceStudies @LocalStudies @steam_museum I forgot to ask, as this album is very clearly linked to the Stanier family, I wonder if there's any chance anyone can identify some of the other uncaptioned portraits? Your article mentions some children and the dates and ages might match up?

@StreetRadnor @OnePlaceStudies @LocalStudies @steam_museum I'll add a link on the Flickr album that the two carte de visite portraits came from https://t.co/QKtrgSVWoK

@bo66ie29 What's the original source of this please? It must be so much better in black and white than this awful automated colourisation

After some notable success last year it’s a while since we managed to re-home some #postcards Some later and interesting annotations here, with this combination of names is it possible to identify them? Hopefully there may be family who would like to be reunited. #Monkton

Have you explored our internationally-renowned collection of photographs?

The Conway Library contains one million images, all of which are free to use and remix. Take a look 👀

The Nazis seized 23 people from the French village of Flesselles and deported them to concentration camps, stealing all the personal items they had with them. With #StolenMemory, we were able to return these keepsakes to two persecutees’ families.

Just to prove that you just need the right person to look at the right time, after many years of trying this has just been identified in the 'Unidentified photos of the British Isles' Facebook Group as being taken at the Sussex County Cricket Ground in Hove // @SussexCCC

Time to have another try at identifying this location. Suggestions are centering around Nottinghamshire

Anyone care to have a stab at this mystery? Who, and where, was William Straw, ca 1860? Pls RT, it's bugging me! https://t.co/loKtCczssH

[A Street Near You @AStreetNearYou]

I just stumbled across this tweet again and wondered if anyone might be able to help identify the location?

@ancresbyjacq A quick check of my family tree shows my 5xG grandparents were typically born about 1800-1820 (I'm in my mid 50s). I haven't seen the show and hence the context, but it would certainly be possible from the 1840s, and not uncommon by the 1860s.

@nationaltrust Very likely a collodion image, and if so then red and green will render darker, blue much lighter.

[James Morley @PhotosOfThePast]

@lucigosling Lovely images. Is it known who any of the photographers are? Without those I guess it's a bit of a copyright nightmare, though I guess that they can just be treated as orphaned works?

@dom155rich1 @willnorman Whilst you could say this dates to the early experiments by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860s, practical methods only really became available in the 1890s. Certainly by the early 1900s there were plenty of colour photographs being taken, including street scenes.
