Vintage Images from the 70's and 80's.

 The following post features a random set of 4 images I recently digitised from my collection. The were taken in the 70's or 80's mainly in the United Kingdom.

River Thames and St Helen's Church Spire from Abingdon Bridge, Oxfordshire. The picture was taken in July 1986.

This picture taken at a date unknown in the 1980's and shows a English village scene, again i'm not sure which village is featured.

The picture shows Sugarloaf and Abergavenny Castle, Wales, taken in the 1970's I have also recoloured this picture as my original image was black and white.

Taken in a foreign land in the 70's or 80's, again i'm not sure of the actual date or location and will probably never know being a beach front sunset.

The Nation's Shrine's (1929)

 The nation's Shrines is a short video I recently uploaded to YouTube featuring a collection of 25 cigarette trading cards from a collection released in 1929 called the nation's Shrines. Each card is an image of an historic place from either England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales and the complete set if featured in the video. They were released by Player's Cigarettes.

The images feature a number of abbey's, Cathedral's, Castle's and other places of interest in the United Kingdom. Sadly Kenilworth Castle is missing, the video software only aloud a brief glimpse of it between John Milton's cottage and Manorbier Castle. The pictures below are the ones that feature in the video. The break down of places represented is 17 sites from England, 3 from Wales and Ireland and 2 featured from Scotland. In this modern age i'm sure that split would be a bit more representative and certainly feature a few more sites of interest from the Celtic nations.
