Wye Valley, Providence Chapel and Belvoir Castle 35mm Vintage Images

The pictures below are some recent 35mm slides I have restored taken from my collection. They can be seen below or on Clickasnap unwatermarked.

Wye Valley

The picture above was taken sometime in the 1970's exact date and location unknown. It shows the River Wye flowing through a valley cutting. The Wye Valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty that straddles the borders of England and Wales and covers areas of the counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Monmouthshire.

Belvoir Castle

Belvoir Castle is an historic stately home that can be found in the county of Leicestershire, England, it is the ancestral home of the Dukes of Rutland. This picture was taken in the 1970's the original slide was tinted red and discoloured so I have restored the colour when editing.

Providence Chapel

The Providence Chapel at the Black Country Living Museum was removed from nearby Netherton in November 1975 and rebuilt within the grounds of the museum over a 2 year period starting in June 1977. The slide was taken in the early 1990's.

Vintage 35mm Slides

 Below is a set of 35mm slides I recently restored, they were taken in the 1960's, 70's and 80's. During the restoration i replaced the sky with something a bit more dramatic as the original sky featured in each picture was washed out and had no life.


Taken in the early 1980's the picture shows the Arc de Triumph in Paris, France. 


Aros Castle ruins on the Isle of Mull, the castle is also known as Dounarwyse Castle. The picture was taken in 1969.


Shrewsbury Abbey, Shropshire picture sometime in the 1970's.


Taken in the 1960's this picture which I restored to colour shows a Welsh coracle boat.

Taken sometime in the late 1960's this shows the Wye Valley, Herefordshire, sadly the exact location is not known despite attempts to find it.

 There's something hauntingly beautiful about old photographs, especially when they're presented in a way that flips our perception....
