Whoever she was, Gladys was beautiful and had lovely handwriting. More than likely Barbara Stafford nee Clark's Niece |

Is the lady in the apron her mother? - the young girl is in school uniform |

The pretty child's parents just lived 'round the corner' from where the Stafford family lived in Rose Terrace |
This is a very old photograph of the Lead Road Greenside. Greenside Pit Building on the right. Just before the pit is a hedge belonging to an old house that was demolished years ago (as was the pit. It closed in the 1960s). However, I believe the next photograph was taken behind this house. Note the street light, on the left is illuminated by gas. Next to this is Greenside School.

The following photograph was found in Eleanor's House. It has a very ethereal quality about it. I cannot find any information about it. I can only assume that this was some sort of 'festival' now defunct. There are young girls of all ages (beautifully dressed) and six boys. The boy lying down has a notice in front of him that states 'The Luck Flower.'
A very unusual photograph.

There may be the odd interesting photograph that can be added later to end my Paternal Family (the Stafford's). There is a tinge of sadness that the Stafford family name died out with Auntie Eleanor - The Last of our section of the Stafford Line.
I Now I intend to begin my Maternal Family Photographic History (the CLark's/Dent's).
