I would consider a pm to Prue Paula .... she works in photographic conservation I believe and is likely to be able to tell you more .. Alternatively  change the title of your thread to....
 " Prue .. Your help is needed !" ;D ;D

They all look like the same people and I recognise the beach picture
being at Brighton, and the building behind the man is the 'Palace Hotel' I used to wash dishes there in the evening after work to earn a little extra.

Here are some clean-ups for you.

Well, it looks as though it's Brighton, then. I've only been there once. I thought it might be, but wasn't at all sure.
Thanks Mike, Great.

Tomkin, I think the experts have done a runner,
They are certainly on metal of some sort, because the motorbike got bent right up at one corner...but what?
It looks as though it is Brighton,
And I don't think concrete would be as nice  :D

Sound idea, Poll, I'll seek, locate and contact Prue later this morning...got a stack of things to do...

Love you all
Paula

Might they have been taken by one of those seaside photographers like Gratispool (?) who would waylay holidaymakers and take several snaps which you could pick up later? Except they're printed on metal, but that might have been an earlier form. We had loads of Gratispool photos from seaside holidays, taken in the 50s

Thanks, Di, lovely version, just what i have come to expect when you drop in.

That's very likely, rance.
Then again, I was thinking last night...
Why wasn't my uncle there. Why was my aunt off with them on her own. I am now wondering if my uncle was there, but on the other end ofthe camera. He might have been the only one who could use it...
