    Well done for rescuing the photo albums. I too think it so sad that these photos are no longer with their families. Having done some family history research myself I know that having photos to put with the names is wonderful.

It's been 6 months since my heart attacks and stroke, I'm going to celebrate my progressive recovery by spending some time out in the sunshine, with my bonsai trees. Thanks for getting my day off to an inspiring start! Love and hugs from Vancouver Island ❤

      i have a family member that collects them and records the history of the family in them then logs them in a room she has in her home like they are books. some people donate them to her and tell her everything they know about the family in the photos. she collects the ones from local families to keep up with the history. it was how i found out i was related to one of the first families to settle in my town i currently live in and that i have a really distant family member from way back then with the same last name as my friend's who's entire family is from this town. there's a chance i am very distantly related to himin some way which would mean my other friend who's his distant cousin could also be related to me in some way. rescuing old albums is why a lot of families find new family members they didn't know they had or could possibly have.

    Well Nicola, I am not so sure about those doll heads! They scare me. I never had a doll growing up. It's funny because my two older sisters had dolls and clothes and their own carrying cases and once I, the third daughter came along, no more dolls. But I loved the clay pipes overload - that had me tickled pink along with your pottery shards! What a great day out! I loved seeing your daughter Grace. She is beautiful, just like your son! 🐥♥️🐤

    Your daughter is lovely!! You are much too young having children that have a little age on them! And I know you have a much older son. Such a lovely visit to the foreshore. Always love an episode when you and Si Finds collaborate. Oh, you're going to Chicago! I grew up near there and it is, for the most part, a lovely city. Wonderful museums. Fabulous restaurants, especially Italian. The lake is phenomenal and very cold. I never found bottles or other things in it, but I did find fossil remnants of coral, Petoskey stones, and circular remnants of crinoids we used to call wampum (it wasn't truly wampum). I did live across the street from an old home where the occupants threw their trash on the side of a hill. I had a good time sorting through that, but I think it was a bit dangerous, rusty tin cans and all. The woman who lived in the house would fuss at me if she caught me but I didn't care!

    Hi Nicola Happy Easter your looking Gorgeous Today and nice to see Si and your Daughter Grace, Your Urban Mudlarking is a great idea and i would like to see what you find also it is nice to have some history to go with your finds. I know Deptford well i used to live there until i was 8 yrs old then ventured east to Greenwich, Deptford high street was my favourite Saturday shopping day i went with my nan helped carry bags then Goddards Pie n Mash shop occasionally to Manzes Pie n Mash n Liquor Jellied eel's Those were the day's LOL .I look forward to your Urban Mudlarking video's i like Old things and the history behind them it's a never ending reality but i dont think in the next 100 yrs it will be as interesting as most things found then will be Plastic, Glass not as unusual lots of the same, Pottery is sort of the same Chugging out of factory's by the Thousands not as interesting, Nowadays as a lot of old pottery is by hand and designs painted on or crafted is so much more satisfying to hold and see craftsmanship of years gone by. Sorry for the book Nicola wishing you and your Daughter and Si a Happy Easter to you all take care God Bless. Gerry

    Hello from Brisbane Nicola. Thanks for another great video. I share your obsession for old photo albums and purchased quite a few from my local flea market when I lived in Tokyo. My favourite contained many 'artistic' shots of people, villages and the countryside. In a few, a shadow gave me a hint of the photographers identity. Near the end I discovered a wonderful photo of a young boy standing proudly next to his camera mounted on a tripod. He was wearing western clothing which along with the camera suggest the album was from the 1920s.

    I’ll be in Chicago on the 11th! The fountain or the Cloud Gate (The Bean) would be a great place to meet up.

    You know, I think I could watch that trowel scraping around on the foreshore for hours, even if you never found a thing! In fact, a trowel scraping video would be nice to have for meditation, or even relaxing into sleep. I wonder if the searching works that way for you. I hope so. Not to slight the finds or the repurposing or the history or the chocolate eggs or the smiles or the cheerful wishes, and now and then a stray relative or squirrel. Good wishes right back to you.

    The large egg actually sounds to me like a small aerosol can of paint that has a metal bead inside to facilitate mixing. Here in the US some call them rattle cans.

    Hi I was watching you & Mud Bagger & lusting after the glass everywhere! You both stepped over a couple pieces of red I would love to find! We have some of you delightful “found” glass fish & have been collecting similar glass along the shores of Lake Superior but, the reds are nearly impossible to find… so we use agate chips & watch your scavenging! Keep up the good work!

    It's always interesting to see what you find on the foreshore. I like doing searches to see if I can find more about some of your unidentified finds. I appreciate the transferware pictures on a neutral background, it makes it much easier to do a reverse image search. Sadly, I wasn't able to find either this time. The red looks very similar to a Masons ironstone pattern called Vista, but not quite. The blue had so many different makers with similar patterns. Maybe next time 😉

    Well done Nicola for collecting the photo albums. I also have picked up a couple, years ago. The children's photos tell us so much about their lives and the social history of the time. one album of mine has the babies with a nursing nanny and young children with a different Nanny. There maybe something to go by to research but i think there are only Christian names . It is sad that these photos are no longer with their families.
    i have photos of my family taken from 1883. I love it. in Multi picture frames in my hall. Thank you , I just love watching you and SI as i am not very mobile. Marie from Bournemouth,
