Edit BRIDGETON BOYS, 1914
This picture from 1914 was used as part of a calender in 1985 by the People's Palace.
Elspeth King, then a curator at the museum, thought faces from the past would help us face the future.
These Bridgeton boys posed in their gladrags for the snap in a backcourt behind an ice-cream shop in Colbert Street.
Times may have changed but some styles never do. Swap these outlandish bunnets for baseball caps and you could be looking at the faces of today's youngsters.
The 1914 date also begs the question; how many of these 'dapper dans' survived the
horrors of the First World War to make it home to Bridgeton.
