Another find from the GA Archives at Solly Street. In 1938, Thomas Cotterill Warrington was seemingly asking a whole range of GA volunteers to send him images from wherever they were travelling, or perhaps of specific locations for a book that he was compiling. I discovered a whole stack of replies to his request. This envelope was sent by Stanley Beaver, who was later to become GA President. At the time, the GA was based in Manchester as you can see from the address on the envelope.
This was labelled as mid-Severn. There were several pictures in the envelope, which also included pictures of Ironbridge Gorge from Stanley Beaver taken in 1938. Here's one below. The quality of reproduction is really good on these little prints.
And here are some images which were sent by James Fairgrieve, showing the South Wales valleys and coal mining villages.
I will return to these images on my next visit to Solly Street and investigate further.
Useful additional colour for the 'A Geographer's Gaze' project.
Thomas Cotterill Warrington was GA President from 1942-1945.
