In 2016, a former colleague mentioned to us that he had 'inherited' some glass negatives that had been found in a cupboard in his flat in Claremont Crescent a few years earlier.
He didn't know much about them, or even what or who they were of. Some of them were broken, and before they became more damaged, he offered them to us to investigate and to digitise.
