Today would be my Grandad’s birthday, the first since he passed away earlier this year.
As a keen amateur photographer he documented many parts of his life and travels with the Navy, then as a thatcher following his departure from service.
Over the last months I have been going through the tins and envelopes of photographs, many of which he printed himself on the dark room that he set up in a small outhouse in the garden.
Here are a few of my favourite images.
