Photo of Women taken Alexandria 1930-50's
« on: Sunday 22 December 13 10:41 GMT (UK) »
I would be grateful if anyone has any information about this photo which was taken in the Alexandria area sometime between the 1930's and 1954? Thank you


Sorry I haven't attached the photo and when I tried to add it I get the message that the" file is too large" Watch this space!

Now attached! Does anyone recognise this photo?

Thank you

Hello I've now attached the photo - unfortunately I chopped off a bit so I'm trying again!
My interest is that my Granny - Barbara McAdam is in the photo - back row 5th from the left

On the back of the photo I can read part of the name of the photographer

LE--Y & GLEN, ALEXANDRIA

Thank you

The Photograph was by Leddy & Glen but whether it was Tom Glen or Pete Leddy who took the photo I do not know.  But as both were also newspaper photographers chances are this print was for publication in the local paper which might provide you with the names you seek. Try the County Reporter at the Dumbarton Library, the library staff do a great job digging up the past.
