Date this glass plate please
« on: Saturday 14 June 14 22:06 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
A friend of mine moved into an old house built in 1700's and within one the cupboards attached the original staircase was a box of Wellington and Ward Anti screen plates with negative images on them.  I have managed to retrieve this one so far and wondered if anyone could help regarding dating this please

Thank you, I am not having as much success in getting anything as good from the other plates at the moment. Although I can see that one was taken outside the Cat and Fiddle in Buxton!!! We are very impressed that we have found at least one location for an image :)

Hi, please note that I am no expert, but I will throw my guess in of around 1905.  The dating experts here will no doubt turn up to give you a more reliable date.

Well, I would put it somewhere in the middle :D Just before the war with the high waistline on the right and the relaxed hairstyle was just coming in. Anywhere from just before into the middle of the war I suppose.

What a fabulous find! A rescue mission :D Take care not to scratch them...

Cheers,

And I would put either side of 1910 by the pram and the clothes.
