More in hope than expectation...
« on: Friday 02 April 10 19:45 BST (UK) »
... as this is a very faded photograph taken just after my grandfather entered the London Underground railway around 1920.

Any improvements would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards - John

Many thanks Irene, how fantastic!  ;D ;D ;D

Now I can see my grandfather properly he looks a bit older than i thought, so the photograph may have been taken a little later than 1920...

I really cannot believe it, never expected such a miracle...

With grateful thanks - John
