Thank you to Marilyn Evan, great niece of Alexander Roberts, for providing this photograph of Alex with his brothers and sisters, probably taken in the 1920s. Marilyn's Aunt Rose, a niece of Alex Roberts wrote: Abercorn "The family photograph was taken in the gardens of our grandparents' house, Abercorn. It was a lovely Georgian house and had vast basement rooms which were ideal for Uncle's business. It housed the hundreds of negatives in one room, a dark room and a developing room. Sheila (my mother) and I used to play at developing with packs of playing cards. On the ground floor of the house, one room was allocated to the business and my father was in charge of a group of girls employed in the business." |
