Certainly is.
Something I have never looked into is who Thomas Sutcliffe is/was. One of these fine days I might just have a dig.

Thanks Maureen. I'm currently adding postcards to the main site but I will have a look at my file later to see if this family is in it or not.

Speaking of the postcards - Kris went to the postcard fair in London last week and bought quite a few. Another hour and they should all be visible within the photo archive.

Just browsing throught the photo gallery and spotted one entitled 'Bob Munn's Corner'. Could this be the same Robert Munn?
