Lade Vale Tennis Club circa 1900. Photo taken by Augustus Jones, restored by Ray McJannett (CC BY-NC-SA 2.5) From GDHS Secretary Rosemary Spiller: Augustus Jones, local photographer in the 1890s and 1900s. Ray McJannett is recovering his photos from a collection of glass negatives, but they were jumbled in their boxes, so many are now not identified, such as the Golden Wedding from 1901. Families in Jerrawa and Lade Vale have photos of their relatives and their farms, with the words "Gus Jones Photographer" printed on the card frame. We know Gus shot large groups of people and Ray believes people in Gunning will also have such photos in their family albums. All are welcome to attend Ray's presentation on this important local photographer and on how to look after their old photos, at the History Society's end of year meeting on Saturday, 3 December 2016, at the Foley Centre, Gunning, at 2.30 pm.
