The Geoff Webb Redbourn Collection of Photographs
Mr Webb has collected over 4000 Photographs showing pictures of Redbourn Village Life.
The collection was available with Photoloca which seems no longer to be available.
The Geoff Webb Collection is being made available at Herts memories, CLICK HERE, but it will take a little while to upload all the photographs.
On the Herts Memories website it can be fairly difficult to find the photos you are looking for, as they come up is lists without the pictures. However, Geoff Webb has found a better way is to go into Google, then Images, then hertsmemories.org.uk followed by the name you are researching, i.e. hertsmemories.org.uk Redbourn Junior School. Then thumbnails will come up so that you can see which picture you want. Then click that photo and it will transfer to Herts Memories with all the details.
