Lots of older pics

[mackem1946]

I 've just been able to get a negative scanner, and will be scanning a lot of pics from 1977, mostly around north Shields and the NE coast, the quality might not be the best , as these negs are at least 31 years old. it's the only album I have left since moving to Australia in 1980, I wish I knew where the others were. These early pics were taken with a russian Zenith 35 mm (All I could afford).Hope I don't bore you all.

Don't worry about the quality, most of my pics are taken with an ancient Zenit. It's nearly as old as me!
