Hello Nicky
Now is the time I wished I'd numbered the pages ;o)
The information is on the 'strange little group' - 'ladies of leisure'. I
wasn't far out with the date -the picture was taken in 1921 and the lace
makers are members of the Catforth W.I. in Lancashire.
Thank you for buying my book - glad you like it.
Best wishes
Diana

Hi Diana
The research you have put into identifying the lacemakers in the postcards
and about their lives has been fascinating, so can you please share this
snippet of information with the rest of us, I'd like to add it to my own
copy of your book.
many thanks

And Diana Smith needs to do much more on the local analysis of old
photos/postcards.<
Dear Laurie
I still endeavour to ID the old photographs. I was lucky enough to
receive
as a Christmas present the lovely book 'Textile Treasures of the WI'
(Women's Institute) - published by The National Needlework Archive.
It includes a small amount on lace and lace making and there was a
picture
of a group of previously unidentified lacemakers that I used in the book.
I
will send you the details - no individual names but a date and location.
Best wishes for the New Year.
