I took this shot inside No 15 Whelley in the early 1970s but never printed it until now.

Henry, it reminded me of my Nana's house in Bottling Wood. Very evocative photo.

Agreed, Henry 7; very atmospheric.....almost as if it is waiting to come back to life.

very reminiscent of the front / living room at my grandmother's in Logwood avenue. I lived there for the first 2 years of my life in the early 60's. Thank you for the memory.
