Thanks for the info John. I've been scanning my dad's old slide. I've done 500, 4 at a time.. a bit time-consuming. They're mainly family portraits.

Hi John The office may still be there but dad's firm isn't, they moved to Harrogate. Not only has Leeds changed a lot in the last 50 years but also in the last 6 months with shops closing down or relocating to other parts of the city centre where they aren't so surrounded by empty shops - it's a constant merry-go-round!

In 1965 the old granite quarry in Aberdeen was still being worked. My dad took me there. There were signs saying "don't throw stones" - it was 466 feet deep! I can remember getting very anxious as my dad climbed over the barbed wire fence and stood on the precipice to take this shot.

The stone from this quarry went to build the famous buildings of Aberdeen - "the Granite City". The quarry closed in 1971 and it is now full of water. BBC news story on sale of the quarry.

While the snow makes for some great photo opportunities there is a theory going round that this is the start of a mini Ice Age engendered by the ending of the Gulf stream. If it's true thanks very much Tony Hayward I hope you're getting your life back.......You've destroyed ours!
