Vintage Carnival - Brightlingsea, Essex 1950's CO7

            Carnival - Brightlingsea 

I believe these images to be by the late John Dalziel, Photographer in Brightlingsea. I was a very small child when they came into our care. John had had a fire in his kitchen in North Road. It was after his Mum died. I have a very vivid memory of him leaning against a burnt door frame, soot marked skin. Curls of burnt negative around the base of his open wood stove and the smell of burnt plastic. I held my Dad's trouser leg, he had turn-ups. I was 2 maybe. So clear in my mind. Then I started to remember the box which turned out to be filled with Brightlingsea Carnival negatives. He hadn't burnt those. Dad was with him at most of the Carnivals so some could be his but I don't know any more,  John was Dad's teacher & he knew I had them in the collection, It was me who didn't know what I had until after he died. Thank you to the people who told me. Lynn - 30th May 2021
