My grandad Colin (right, with the double bass) in a jazz band. Late 60s. Don't know the venue or other musicians unfortunately, assume London. Grandad could also play the violin, amongst other instruments, and had performed at the Royal Albert.

Richmond Yorkshire 1945 and now

A now and then with the 'then' taken this morning. So many changes here, the Penny Bank to the left was The Yorkshire Bank when I was growing up. Heron's foods is now just the old facade with a complete rebuild behind. It was done around 1980, after which Woolworths moved in.Take a look at the old shop fronts, so interesting!
