Walter Rose (1857-1954) spent his working life in the village of Westcott near Dorking in Surrey, a peaceful backwater of rural activity beneath the North Downs.
Sometime back in the 1970s a collection of glass-plate negatives was bought by Dorking resident Ted Molyneux who identified them as being the work of the Guildford photographer John Chaplin.
Hello, and welcome to Goodness Gracious, home to an astonishing array of vintage photographs, many of which are printed from the original glass plate negatives and are unavailable from any other source.
