    My Grandfather was a Taylor, his shop was on Hamnett Street in Hyde.. the family lived above. He'd lost a leg in the first world war, and was trained by a Jewish man from Manchester to be a Taylor on his release from the army. He smoked Capstan Full Strength but would never smoke over the cloth he was working on. My mother would be called to light him a cigerette when he was working, she of course would have a crafty drag or two while holding the ciggy... she would be about 10-11 then. Can you imagine the out cry now. Mum did smoke all her life... not Capstan, but Woodbine.
    Later in life my granddad married again, but he always told my mum and her sister Doris that when he died they were to make sure to check his leg.... his money was their 'Leg'acy you see.

    Didn't know they used fish eye lenses in Victorian times. I wonder what people will think of our fashions in 100 years time?

    g'sm Victorian is pre-Edwardian! The image is authentic; the treatment is mine.

Sorry about having to keep captchas on my blogs but I took them off and got inundated with spam - I appreciate your efforts to comment despite the hurdle.
