How is he related to you then silverhammer?

I know a few of us use the Southport GB site so I had seen that thread before

No, not related to me. Just a random picture that was in my Grandmother's collection, she came from Southport. Why "Old Tim" was there I'm not sure but he was obviously a character reasonably well known so I guess she took it for posterity.

I happened to find the other site recently with a posting from a relation of "Old Tim" (different picture). I tried to make contact but no reply.

I have a lot of pictures from Southport, some from the 1920's and a few from the late 1940's when my grandmother went back for 5 years. I shall post as and when.

You mentioned the brickwork Ray. It is probably Accrington Red brick and the mortar is hardly visible...something to do with the shape of the brick on it's inside surfaces. Lots and lots of houses in Southport have been built in that. I've heard that it is no longer manufactured.

Yes, Bez, that is exactly what I was meaning. My father had it too but wouldn't have the op. He was born in Poland so could well have had 'a touch of the vikings' in him.

Brian, I thank you for your diligence in researching the holding of a pint glass in that fashion...

Eh...the things we do for family history!

Hope we all had a Happy Easter,

Dotty

My Grandfather on my father's side had that condition with his hands, and he was descended from Manx (Vikings??).
