When discussing “old” photos of Scilly it is always easy to think of the photographs from the glass plates dating around the 1900s as being the “old” pictures. However the truth, that I have to keep reminding myself, is that photographs that I remember Dad taking from my childhood are now 40 years old and well and truly qualify as history. I have tried to include on this page a range of pictures through the years rather than just the very early ones.
