I think it's a Morris, but I don't know the model. Perhaps a J van?

Yes Allan I did take the photos with and Argus camera. I was sixteen at the time. My dad had a wanderlust and we were frequently in unknown and interesting
places territory

You had an Argus at age 16? Seems your dad was generous too!
They were a good camera at the time. Bet you haven't still got it.

Nothing gets tossed out in our place.

Blimey, wish I still had all the cameras that I once owned, starting with a Kodak Baby Brownie in 1944. I believe that it cost 6 shillings (60c) including a film in 1944. Birthday present from my Big Sister. She kindled my fascination.
The original Baby Brownie was discarded many years ago but I found one on eBay a while back and bought it for the sentiment. Cost $50.
I can count 23 that I have owned, and may have missed one or two. There are now six in the cupboard plus one in the phone. I must have a camera fetish! lol
But I must say that none were dumped. All were passed on to budding
young photographers.

Lush colours _ Kodachrome ? Ektachrome? Agfa.... ? Slides or prints? Years pls. I know where Queen Vics head is ( GRR near
Derby) but unaware of Winstons location. A great blast from the past.

G'day Warrie. Your websites don't work because you didn't use the 'Link' tab at the bottom your post when you wrote it.
