I was looking through some old photos on my computer and found some that were in the wrong place for what they were. I had copied some from a group on facebook which is called "60's Bury" (I was born and bred in Bury, Lancashire although I moved away in 1975.
I looked at this one which I'd labelled "is this me?"
Well! Of course it's me - the one in the checked coat - I don't know how I might have doubted it unless I had not looked at it properly. The photo I had seen in 2021 and due to it being filed incorrectly I had not seen it again till today. I was totally unaware of this photo having been taken so it was a surprise.
The photo was taken in 1967 when I was 16 heading for my 17th birthday later that year. It's great to have it because I don't think there are any other photos of me at that age - people didn't go around snapping pics frequently in those days. I loved that coat which I'd had from the year before.
I don't know if it's a bit of a cheat posting the photo when it's 58 years ago so I've popped an extra on which was taken today on my walk.
