old battle photo's

 

A collection of old photographs from pre-war Battle 

If you can provide any further information about these pictures please E-mail me: tim@battle-abbey.co.uk

These pictures were found among Percival's collection of photographs believed to have been taken either by him, or by his father Walter. Unfortunately, none of them were dated, but most of them must be pre-1939.

More photo's taken by Percival White. Mainly of Battle Abbey

Old Abbey Prints

Found in a brown-paper Album which belonged to my Great Grandmother
The Album is slightly damaged, discoloured, and very fragile. The pages and tissue inter-leaving were originally held together with a cord but I was able to scan the prints without further damaging the contents. There is no clue as to the photographer, or the printer, but a date written on one of the tissues in my grandfather's handwriting suggests that the pictures were printed in the early 1900's, and certainly before the fire in 1931.
