<p>[QUOTE="Misty Horler, post: 305575, member: 6095"]A couple of years ago I bought an envelope containing a set of four photographs from my local charity shop. For the past few weeks I have been digging out my old stuff and come across them, so I decided to have another go at researching who the mystery people in the photographs could be. The envelope is from the Daily Mirror newspaper and it is being sent back (I am presuming) to the owner of the photographs. The name it is being sent to is C.Bishop Esq, and then an address follows (187 Cold Harbour Lane, Hayes, Middlesex) BUT that address has been crossed out and instead another address has been written next to it (SS 'Athenic', c/o Shaw Savill Lines, 101, Queen Street, Auckland, New Zealand.</p><p>The envelope also contains a little piece of paper saying "With the compliments and thanks of the picture editor" and the letter is dated July 27th 1955.</p><p>Firstly, I have tried and tried thinking of how that name and addresses and photos tie together, but so far my internet search has come up with nothing at all. Secondly, the two people in the photographs are unknown to me (famous or not) and I cannot find anything around that date about who it could be. I have even checked The Daily Mirror archives and come up with nothing.</p><p>I am thinking one of them (the man or the woman) COULD be famous, as it is a famous newspaper and I would have thought they would only print photos of notable and famous people back then? My husband says that the woman looks a lot like Grace Kelly and the date of the photos would be roughly right for her time. I don't know.</p><p>I have attached photos below.</p><p>Any help would be appreciated!!</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2532]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2533]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2534]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2535]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2536]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 2537]daily mirror by Misty Horler posted Nov 22, 2017 at 11:17 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
