Wordless Wednesday: Both sets of maternal Great Grandparents pose in 1953 and then again in the same formation, 20 years later in 1973.
What a fascinating pair of photos! It seems to be only the clothes that have changed that much in 20 years…

Indeed, 53-73 i’d have expected the clothing to change a bit more.
It’s by complete chance that they are standing in the same formation – and the photos were also taken only about 1 mile apart.
I also only really discovered the older photo in the last few weeks – the original photo is only 2.5″ by 3.5″, and was tucked in amongst a load of others the same size at the back of an album so i’d not really looked at it properly. Once i realised its significance, I had to scan and enlarge it.
