History of Artefact ‘My dad was a Portsmouth man. He worked in the chemical works in Stamshaw. My mother was from Seven Oakes in Kent from 1910-15, she was a cook.’ Father / grandfather not in photograph – this could mean that he had died.

Historian - ‘Someone in the family could have got the photograph re-printed. Pinafores were worn by children until they left school. It was a rite of passage to stop wearing the pinafore. Girls used to wear their hair down. When children were becoming young adults they would start to wear ankle-length dresses and their hair would be pinned up.’
Historian John Stedman
Previous Owners Unknown
Special Memories ‘I didn’t really know much about my family. It reminds me of my family history, it triggers memories of the things my mum told me.’
