Norman Barber - watchmaker and jeweller
The jaguar on the right belonged to Norman Barber and was parked outside his shop in Leyburn. At this time my husband, Cedric Barber, was probably in class at Leyburn County Primary School (now an old peoples' home). Cedric's second cousin, Janet Green, lives a short distance from the scene of this photograph.

Richmond Photographic Memories
Some women artists paint the view of Richmond from across the River Swale. In the left distance can be seen smoke rising from the gasworks beside the falls. Richmond had one of the earliest gasworks in Europe, built in 1820 to provide street lighting for the fashionable Georgian town.
