Looks like Richard Hawley crossing the road in the first one ...are we sure he was only born in 1967? I was born in London in 1958. That could quite easily be my mum and dad on the scooter in that photo, they had a scooter and she had an outfit just like that! |

I love looking through photos like these. I know colour technology has come a long way since then, but the colours on there are so much more appealing to my eyes. More real, in a way. And the world was far less cluttered then.

Never come across this site before, adore the images and the 'colour'. Can't help but feel if someone started selling colour slide film with that process they would make a mint. |

You can recreate that Kodachrome look - and others - in Photoshop, with this plugin - http://www.alienskin.com/exposure/expos ... mples.aspx |

I went there in 1960 I think. The colours were much the same as those in the old photographs. |

I remember 60's Liverpool as being in black and white - colour only arrived with the electrification of the West Coast Railway. |
