Historic photos

During Lockdown 2020 I had an opportunity to make a start on one of my retirement projects: to scan many hundreds of negatives and slides I had taken since the mid-1970s.

Some of these are of historic interest and records events from a long time ago right up to relatively recent events like the demolition to make way for the Asda store in Newton Abbot in 2005.

About this website

This is part PHOTOGRAPHY portfolio and part traditional BLOG.

Photography

I have taken photographs since about 1975. Older photos are generally scanned from negatives and can be found under Historic Photos.

Photos are presented at about one-quarter of their original size.

Blog

Blog entries cover things I like, with a particular focus on QUALITY.

  • Entertainment (‘ents’)
  • Stuff – gadgets, home, etc.
  • Out & About – cafe’s, bars, etc.
  • Food & drink

Historic photos

Photos taken between 1975 and about 2010 appear here. Each set usually records an event or a particular place.
