Faces from the past, July 1967
An acquired slide of which I know nothing about, other than the picture was taken in July 1967 and the group are standing next to a Morris Commercial J Type van. I would hazard a guess that they are probably on some kind of outdoors activities outing and, or youth hostelling in Wales, …or the like. The old gas lamp and stonewall suggests to me a railway station, or halt?
The van carries a London registration, possibly an ex Royal Mail or GPO vehicle, especially as it looks to have rubber moulded wings. The Kodak Kodachrome transparency has deteriorated considerably, with the enamel badly crazed in parts; possible because it has been stored in less than ideal conditions?
Any help in identifying the location, people or anything about the scene would be most helpful. Thanks
