We have provided an indication of when each photograph was taken but this is only intended as a guide. For instance, where an image is described as Victorian period or early 1900s, more detailed research might show that it is earlier or later than described. The location, where one is given, is taken from the caption that was on the original photograph when we purchased it and, as such, is probably accurate but may not be. Where an image is coloured, it is not a colour photograph. It was hand-coloured at the time it was originally published. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive.
