Figure 1.-- Here we see a family at Whatton-in-the-Vale, a small village in Nottinghamshire. This is located in the industrial midlands. It lies in the Vale of Belvoir, with the River Smite to the west and the River Whipling to the east. The Anglican Church of St. John of Beverley dates to the 14th century. Here we see an unidentified mother and her two children crossing one of the rivers on a footbridge. The children look to be about 5-8 years old. The boy wears a white vshirt, short pants, white socks, and strap shoes. His big sister looks to be wearing her school uniform including a rounded crown hat. The portrait is undated, but looks to us like the 1930s. The photograph is done as a cabinert card. Perhaps dad took the photograph and had the print done as a white cabinet card, a photoraphic format going out of style at the time.
