Hi, I would love to contact Enid as we have a large collections of her fathers photographs (taken in Croydon) in our local history collection and we would like to know more about her Father and the time he was in Croydon.

Those lovely images perfectly captured “My” London, which I left (with many regrets) in 1959.

Thank you for all the interest shown in my Dad’s photos. I know he would be delighted that so many people had shown an interest in them. He was not a professional photographer but was very careful about the images he produced. He had his camera with him whoever he went. My 21yr old grandson Jack is also an amateur photographer, although he has had a few images published, and I will ensure that he sees them. I have given him my Dad’s camera.

My friend Ray has noticed that there is a sign for developing photographs in 6 1/2 hours which presumably was a really fast service for the time!

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos. I’m a Yankee born to British parents, made my first trip to England in 1986 nd fell deeply and eternally in love with London. I have ancestral connections with several of the old churches and have visited as many as possible. They are London’s treasures and I hope those that remain will be protected and stand forever.

A quick trawl through Google suggests only St Dunstan in the East has gone (for a garden), All Hallows Staining and St Augustines (by St Pauls) survive as towers, the latter having had its superstructure restored after Frank Merton Atkins photo…and the rest still stand

Wonderful photographs, what a find. I especially like the unusual shot of the Hawksmoor church, St Mary Woolnoth, with the building construction behind it.
