Need a lot more info on that one, but I don't think I will be of on it. But noce if we can get a clue as to places visited and rough time scale. If these are scans from prints, which i think they may be, the original prints will probably have dates imprinted on the back of them......Let us know if you can Robert as we have placed one image it would be good if we can do another.........................

Why not if it might help. I had half thought of Truro for the one with the church

2 out of the first 3 have just the country lane scene, which will be almost impossible

the harbour scenes are Clovelly and West Looe. Just the 2 pics with the cars in to find, which I reckon must be well over 40 years ago!!!

I've emailed the 2 unidentified ones from the first batch to our friends who have lived in Cornwall all their lives to see if they can help.

The Police car is H reg, they tend to use newish cars so that would make that photo 1969 or thereabouts. Not that it helps much but it gives a rough idea of date. The 'Red Hot' sign must be the Red Lion Hotel or something similar ?
