Looking through old family history stuff I've just found these old photos of London.  The 12 photos came in a tiny envelope marked thus:

In order to try and see the photos more clearly I loaded them onto our computer. I came to the conclusion that they must have been taken some time in the 1930s as there were no photos showing the results of the bombing which took place during World War II.  

Then I remembered that my great grandfather (Arthur Briggs) did take my Mum on a trip to London, which would have been when she was a teenager.  This must have been before the War as Arthur himself died in 1944.

Considering they're tourist photos of landmarks, which rarely change a great deal, they're quite interesting, so I've reproduced them here.

*although teenagers as such didn't really exist until at least the 1950s, One day they were children and the next they were 'grown up'.

OLD DISEASE NAMES*

THIS IS AN INTERESTING SITE FOR WHEN YOU ARE LOOKING AT OLD DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS AND ARE NOT SURE OF OLD MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FOR CERTAIN DISEASES GIVEN THEREIN .........

To give some examples

Roseola: Rash seen in the secondary stage of Syphilis.  Roseola sounds so benign but must have been a dreadful state to be in.

But if I heard I was suffering from Chloasma I would be really worried, but it's only a term for 'bownish freckly discolouration of the skin. Mostly seen in pregnancy'.

However, there is one thing I do suffer from occasionally:
Abasia: Hysterical inability to walk or stand (usually induced by G&T in my case!)
