Back in July, I posted about some film clippings and photo slides that I have in my collection. I had procured both of those lots at some point in 2025, so I couldn't believe my luck when, within the same month of making that post, I found another lot while I was at Rosudgeon Car Boot Sale.
For only £15 I was able to snag 6 skinny boxes of slides, and a Boots Star Viewer in pristine condition. In this collection, there turned out to be 188 photos, all of which are centred around tropical holidays and many boat focused trips. There was also some of a dentists working on a patient. At firsts, they felt very out of place but after a closer look, I think the owner of these photos was a dentists who, at least briefly, worked on a boat.
All of the boxes had place names written on them, but unfortunately with the condition I found the slides in, I don't think the right ones were in the right boxes. The places these photos were taken were supposedly Mauritius, Italy, Malta, Dartmouth, and Eagle (?), but I could not distinguish which ones are from which location. The only ones I myself could identify were the ones from Dartmouth, because I also went there earlier this year. That was really cool to see, recognising the places I had recently been, sometimes as close as the same street, but nearly 70 years prior. These date from between November 1963 and December 1981, but there were also some undated ones in the mix too. Once again, I've posted my favourites as large individuals. ♡
