Where is this Place? PHOTO

[Jan Ann]

Just To make it more  interesting!

This is a photo of the lady who the photos belonged to - her name is Amelia Castle and the photo was taken on her 18th Birthday in 1888 - can you see any resemblance to the others?

Cheers

Hi all,

The thing on the mantlepiece is indeed a fan, a Japanese style one (you get them as freebies in Japan to this day, with advertising printed on them!).

I would put the date of this photo around 1890, give or take a year or two. 

Forget the sheepskin - I can't believe none of you have noticed the possum-skin rug under Sir's feet!   

I have,  at work, lists of early Aust photographers, so if I remember when I get there this morning, I will have a look for Mr Allan and see what dates he was operating in Collingwood.

Doesn't really help with your Brighton Beach photo though...

Hi Prue

It will certainly help!  Thanks very much!

after a lot of research this weekend its looking far more likely to be a Castle or Price connection and now Harvey! Hannah Price married Walter Harvey 1867 Aston, Birmingham - no trace of them since so maybe they emigrated?

Thanks for all your opinions! Others seem to think the Couple photo is earlier than the Beach photo

Cheers
