I live in the Brad, and I was born there. If you live in the Brad you should know my father or mother, Ivor Jones or Nicola Jones. My name is Alisha Jones and I have heard loads of stories about the old times in the Brad and now I wish I lived in the older time, because it was more peaceful.

Photographer's Kiosk
This photo show a small photographer's kiosk. I obtained a Frith print of this image but with a magnifier all I can see is the dot screen used to produce the print. I wonder if anybody knows who was running the photographer's kiosk in 1955?
