Family Holiday, Cleveleys, 1950s






I found this box of Kodachrome transparencies from a stall on Ceshire Street, London, in 2006. The box is labelled 'Cleveleys ETC, Local.' I was immediately drawn to them because of the location of the photographs, Cleveleys is close to Blackpool where I grew up and I have been there many times over the years.

The family in the photographs are beautifully dressed and they look quite regal with the corgi by their side. I love the young girls pretty red dress with deep pockets and white buttons, and the way she has teamed it with a blue jumper is extremely elegant. Although the slides are marked and discoloured in areas the colours are still beautifully vibrant, especially when they are projected.
