    Brown cloth with gilt title lettering on upper board. Album size 10x13 inches. Album worn at edges else good. Internally very good. 20 sepia photographs, each 165x210mm [c7x9 inches] and in landscape format. Most photographs have the monogram W D H in pencil beneath and the first photograph has the signature of Henry Howard on the card mount. The images show the house in its garden setting, the layout of the gardens and main rooms of the house including a large scale detail from the Sheldon Tapestry. [ Howard appears to have owned a number of tapestries.] This house, is an 18th century house with late 19th century additions. [Some latterly removed] The photographs may have been taken by Henry Howard. The history of the house and its occupants is recorded in a planning statement of 2024. https://docs.planning.org.uk/20240823/68/SI74VGSIHW800/l6whvi7z1yetdz2w.pdf This reveals that the Howard family, occupied the property from 1881. It appears to have been a leasehold property in the ownership of Lieutenant Henry Calvins Russell-OldnalI at this time but the Howards occupied it until just sold before the second world war to the Garrett family. The Garrett's subsequently moved to Canada. The photo album reveals the house arrangements, furniture, and the layout of the gardens 100 years ago and is an excellent record for that moment. I could form a useful document for garden and house restoration.

There are additionally five small photographs of the church hall which operated as a church during the war. One shows a bombed-out house. Photograph sizes vary from 260x210mm to small scale images 55 x 85mm [ of the hall] Several photographs have the embossed stamp of "Portsmouth and Sunderland Newspapers Ltd.". Two images show memorials of flowers set up in the damaged church and further one is a miniature cenotaph. These are particularly interesting for their documentary value of commemorating the impact of war damage. Fascinating album. Photographs all very good but some poorly pasted into the album. No captions. Album itself, worn but a great record of one building and its associated community. This church was damaged twice. The first damage to the church buildings occurred on November 10th 1940, when a high explosive bomb fell, tore a hole in the North side of the nave. On April 17th 1941, a landmine in Hayling Avenue destroyed the East end of the church, severely damaging the rest of the building and completely flattening the Parish Hall (the original Mission Church). The church was initially partially restored and then further work was undertaken in 1957. In the early 2000s the church was partially converted to house several community facilities including a doctor's surgery. All these changes are documented at https://www.stcuthbertandstaidan.org.uk/about/a-brief-history-of-st-cuthberts-church/ [ accessed 22 March 2023]
