Recollections of Blaisdon Hall
Derry Maher's Photos of
Blaisdon in 1989
Some weeks ago Derry Maher mailed me a pouch of photo negatives marked simply 'Blaisdon 89'.
He forwarded them to me with a note that he had no idea what they may contain and had no way of reading them.
At the time I received them, neither did I. I searched around for viewers, but it appears they are no longer available. One of my neighbours had an old version and form testing with this I could just about make out that they were probably of Blaisdon alright.
So I went down to my local PC shop, Maplin, and bought a scanner device for slides and film, which I have used and am delighted I did. These photos from Derry are super pictures of events which so many of us would have attended, and I guess that many of these must be from the Family Day in 1989.
I have numbered each photo in the hope that I might get details of the various events and hopefully names of some of the people in the photos.
As a gift to Derry, I have printed out a copy of these photos and had them bound and sent to Derry as a thank you for not simply disposing of them.
Well done Derry,
John
