Hi Frank,
I had a trip to Beamish Museum Co.Durham this week where I knew there was some nice original ABW pictures of Ladysmith.
I took a few pictures that I thought you might like, apologies for the quality taken through glass and bright sunlight.

Never bothered with postcards, but, they are quite nice things, don't forget, if you see any Caesar's Camp/Manchester Fort and Messr's Scott and Pitt, please do let me know!
Kind regards Frank

Shocked by your "gap filler" on the "dark side" not good!

Paul,

I like these pictures by Sutherland. I'm not sure how many he produced but would like to collate a full set on the site if I can.

With thanks

Morning Frank,
The museum is well worth a visit, it covers the Georgian/Victorian/Edwardian period very well.
The pictures are sited in the classroom of a Victorian school, the reliefs of Ladysmith and Mafeking along with military leaders of the period are on show.
Seems David is aware of these, hope he can post the full set.

Cheers
Paul :)
