I think I met Howard some years ago when we first started work on the Aerofilms Collection and were thinking about a community project focussed on the studios photos.

One of my favourites. The goings on on the back lots of these old studios are fascinating. britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EAW...

And britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EPW...

As were/are various studios, depending on the date, e.g. britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EAW...

Colour photo of a show box sized cardboard box lined with yellow paper and closed by a panel covered in white tissue paper. One the tissue paper six small rectangular Edmondson train tickets are supported by dressmakers pins. The tickets are coloured pink, yellow, white or blue. They are from steam heritage railways. A label below the tickets gives their names and year of issue.

And I failed to add this pic to the post 🙄

Ah so I see, probably those ‘candles’ with a switch on the bottom, watch battery inside and little flickery light on top like we use in Archaeology Club for the kids to paint cave art on the paper-covered undersides of tables.

😳

Eeuww.
