Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: OUT IN THE YARD OR GARDEN Sometime in the mid 1990s, I went to the Town Clerk in Bristol to ask if she knew of anyone in Bristol who had once lived in our (1870s) house. She directed me to an elderly woman (Margaret) who lived several streets away. I walked over and knocked on her door and had a lovely meeting with her. She told me that she and her sister (also in her 90s and living on the west coast) had lived in our house in the 1920s and she remembered with glee how the two of them used to sled down our VERY steep hill toward the river at the bottom of the street. I asked her if she possibly had any old photos that I could borrow and copy, and she told me she thought she did and would let me know. Life moved on, keeping me busy with four young boys. Several years after this, I was walking past her house and saw a man in his late 60s sitting in front of her house and selling household goods. I stopped to talk to him and introduced myself. He told me that Margaret was his mother and had recently passed away. He remembered her telling him about my visit and promised to look out for any photos for me to copy. He then reached over and gave me a sweet little jug and sugar bowl that had belonged to his grandmother (Margaret's mother) - and told me that I could "return them" to Basin St. He also told me that he had fond memories of visiting his grandmother at her (now our) house on Basin Street. Months later, my family and I returned home from a vacation and found several photos in our mail box - this is one of them. He did not live in Bristol and I never saw him again, so I'm not clear on who this is - but this is our yard showing long gone elm(?) trees, a much newer retaining wall, a snowball bush, and the house across the street looking quite spick and span rather than the abandoned Adams Family-type house it is now. Now that I've retired, I'm hoping to take this, and the other photos, to the Historical Society this year to see if anyone can identify the people who are "out in the yard or garden" on Basin Street.
