Hi has anyone any old photos of Brook Street Tavistock, my ancestors lived there and I'd like a photo for my album. The Francis Frith collection has one but its 1910, I wondered if anyone has an older one. If so I'd love a scan of it, copywrite allowing. regards Cynthia

Have you tried google images? Alternatively, the relevant local history centre, library and/or records office will probably have a selection. nell

Hi there I live reasonably local to Tavistock (5miles) I live in a village over the water in Gunnislake. I'll have a look at my local history books & see if I can find any also will pop in to the local po as going to town this afternoon & see if I can find any for you. What era are you looking for?
