Catalogue Description

These records were stated by the depositor as being those of Elsie Wilson, Low Doctor Pasture Farm, Wolsingham.

Few of the photographs are identified and though some have names written on the back, Elsie Wilson is not one of them.

Some of the photographs have a clear link to the Wear Valley area, being taken in studios in Crook or Bishop Auckland, and others show school classes in Frosterley and a butchers shop in Bishop Auckland.
