Nearly everyone enjoys looking at old photographs. They rekindle memories and bring back to life the tales once told by parents and grandparents. Out of the many artifacts and documents that have survived from our recent past, old photographs are by far the most evocative. Their popularity can be seen from the excellent sales that have followed most of the 'Wolverhampton in old pictures' books. I recently had the good fortune to hear about the large collection of old photographs of Wolverhampton and the surrounding area that belongs to Janice Endean. The collection has been built up over many years and covers all aspects of life in Wolverhampton. Luckily she has given us permission to include some of her photographs in this section, all of the old ones are from her collection. |
Janice is the lab manager at Eardley Lewis, who are based at Unit 72, Imex Business Park, Upper Villiers Street, Wolverhampton, WV2 4XB. Their telephone number is 01902 772072. They are commercial and industrial photographers who have produced and supplied the prints for many of the local history books. They also do copying work for the local archives at Snow Hill and for Shugborough Museum. If anyone is looking for copies of old photographs, or would like copies of the old photographs shown here, then its worth paying them a visit.
