Here’s another mystery walking picture I picked up recently, mainly as it was dated by one of the two ladies who were captured by the movie camera on a sunny day in 1932. I had hoped I could identify the location but am unable to do so. It is one of a number of high contrast walking pictures I have by the same firm, probably Sunfilms, who were taking this sort of film strip from around 1929 (this is the middle frame of three, size 60x70mm). There are a number of trams in view and also some gents in what might be porter’s uniforms behind the two women, so it may have been snapped in a city rather than a coastal town. The woman on the left is clearly dressed in fashions of an earlier era but others in the scene have more up to date hats and outfits. I cannot decipher the christian names, the surname is probably Ferguson. If anyone recognises the spot do let us know!
