As well as being our longest serving member Stuart is also the custodian of the History of Bury Photographic Society. When I started looking after the website I was very proud and interested in the groups long history and Stuart was to lovely and kind enough to share with me this fantastic glimpse into the club from the early years of 1900.

These pictures are early examples of Lantern Slide photography that the group is conserving for the future, under the careful care of Stuart.

I am sure that you will be as impressed as I was on how the camera and the members of the day captured life around us just as we do so too, some things never change….
