Warrington PS Lantern Slides – presented by Martin Berry Thurs 19th Feb 2015

On February 23, 2015

Review and photos by Mal Holmes

The Society welcomed Martin Berry from Warrington Photographic Society, founded in the 1880’s making it one of the oldest Photographic Societies around (LAPA/SLPS was founded in the 1850’s).

Martin gave us a valuable insight into the running and rules of the early Society and included some great early images, of the Warrington Membership of the late 1800’s and early to mid 1900’s.

It was so good to look back to an earlier photographic era in time, and view digitised images of local Social History including the fashions and architecture of the day, through the original ‘lantern slides’ of the Society.

Martin also included some AV work using a selection of the images, along with the stills. A good evening if you missed it. See more photos on our slps facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/505568436158619/?fref=nf

Early members could be expelled from their Society, if they made ANY money or money from borrowed Warrington equipment....
