This picture is very nostalgic for me. I was in secondary school from 1948 to 1955. At that time the rule for P.E. was very thin white shorts and NOTHING else. Thus we boys (it was a boys only school) were effectively naked. Most of us loved it. If shorts were forgotten the rule was: three firm whacks on the seat or do P.E. naked. Most offenders opted for naked although if a boy continally "forgot", a stiff letter was sent to his parents.

I am looking for The Toni Twins as I worked with one of them in the late 60's in Edenbridge, Kent. Can't find anything about them now, only American twins. Anybody out there know anything about them? The lady I worked with at Boots was called Joan.
Good site - I'd forgotten about Zubes -my gran used to suck them all the time!

Hello Brian, I'm a researcher and writer, and must say you have an excellent, well designed web-site that is really impressive. I was searching for old Tootal advertisements -and 'bingo' there it was - brilliant!
I will contact you separately. Kind regards John Dann

Hello. I am desperate to find an old Rozalex advertisement featuring my father. He was photographed in front of some machine tools & was paid three guineas by the photographer, not realising until he saw the ad in a newspaper, that the photograph had been used by the company. Rozalex have been doing their best to find it, with no luck so far. The ad was featured in newspapers and Engineering magazines between 1965 and 1975. It's Dad's 78th birthday on Christmas Day & we would love to give him a copy. Can you (or anyone else reading this) help in any way? Thank you.

My Grandmother was born in Kearsley in 1895 and her father Thomas Latham and her husband grandpop were coal miners as well as many of her Whitley family where miners too. Loved all the pictures but really loved the coal miner's photos it showed how hard their work was. I thought how old some of the men were but then I thought it was there work that made them look so old as many coal miners did not live a long life. I would love to hang the photo of the coal miner pushing the wagon full of coal today on my wall with a quote saying don't wind about your job, look what grandfather did.

Fscinating site, congratulations. I would contest your description of "Roundheads" though. Both sides in the Civil War wore their hair as the fancy took them - see portraits of Cromwell and Ireton for example

Hello,
I've really enjoyed looking at your site.
I'm currently researching pictures on behalf of Baracuta, who are putting together their company history. I've seen one of their early adverts on your website, and I was wondering if you have any more. I would be very grateful if you could let me know.
Many thanks and best,
Emma O'Neill
