Fred Howell, about 1940
Lynne, one of our project volunteers, has used Photoshop to improve a portrait photograph of the late Fred Howell. I visited Pat at home last week for a very enjoyable chat and left a copy of the image with Lynne on the same day. It's an unusual photo, probably taken in about 1940 by Fred's uncle who was a professional photographer.
Fred and Pat later farmed at Holt Villas at Curdworth.

Cinefilm
Delighted to have been contacted by Michael and Barbara Hague about cinefilm taken in 1959 and 1960 on their farm at Millburn Grange near Kenilworth. It's a little bit outside the area for the project, but will be fascinating to see.
