Hi Ian Try visiting the Special Collections Dept at Keele University at Keele (outskirts of Newcastle under Lyme). They have the Ernest Warrilow Photo Collection .... a vast collection of street scenes etc in Black and white - indexed by street / town etc. You will need to make an appointment. Also you can also ask for a photocopy of the photos provided for own use etc etc. regards Bill ======================================================================== * This Mail was sent WITHOUT attachments* Bill Harrison's Genealogy Pages can be found online at http://www.harrisongenealogy.co.uk Also BMSGH Webmaster - URL = http://www.bmsgh.org The Staffordshire BMD can be found at http://www.staffordshirebmd.org.uk and the West Midlands BMD at http://www.westmidlandsbmd.org.uk (If you live in the North/Mid Staffs area, South Cheshire area or the West Midlands and would like to help Photostating,Transcribing or Co-ordinating then please email me asap please!!) ======================================================================== ----- Original Message ----- From: <PHILLPOTTDebian@aol.com> To: <ENG-STS-THE-POTTERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 3:55 PM Subject: [Pots] ADVICE ON A STOKE VISIT PLEASE > My family history research has led me to Stoke, particularly > Burslem/Hanley > areas.
