Photos

Hi,

I have a number of old photos and have no idea who the people are. One in particular is different from the usual portrait type and I am wondering if I would be allowed to post it and get some opinions.

There are 3 gentlemen wearing aprons. One is holding a hammer with a rock? in his lap, one is holding a large scoop and one is holding ?

I have no idea what this photo would be for or why these gentlemen had this picture taken as it was. Perhaps a lister is more knowledgeable and could offer some suggestions.

Hi Judy
I wonder if the gentlemen you refer to could be flintknappers? There is a long history of this trade in the Suffolk area and several pubscalled The Flint Knappers Arms.

There is no problem in posting the photos. The message re living persons really only applies if you were identifying those people specifically. Trying to work out if someone is from a certain period or what costume, uniform etc. they are wearing is exactly what this is designed for.
