Description
Meet the Urtons of Bebington – Jack, the keen amateur photographer, his wife Biddy, and their young daughters Mary and Lois. This nostalgic exhibition invites us to share an insight into the life and leisure time of an Edwardian middle class Wirral family through their personal photographs. They show the family at home and in the garden, relaxing with relatives and friends. Days out to New Brighton and the Wirral coast are recorded, as are excursions into the Derbyshire countryside. A rare opportunity to see amateur photography that orginated during the fledgling years of the medium.
