St Ives & Ice Cream
Robert Woodhouse
 I recently received a couple of photographs from Robert Woodhouse, one of railway interest, asking if I could confirm that they were St Ives area.

Personally for me, and for many, others a trip to St Ives was not complete without a visit to Harts Ice Cream Parlour

Rob Woodhouse sent a more recent letter :- These pictures are part of a family's collection of several hundred slides & negatives which I purchased from a (house clearance) dealer. The family consisted of husband, wife & daughter. In the "Harts" picture, the husband is the gentleman standing in the doorway, and his daughter is perched on the wall next to him. Many of this collection appear to have been taken in Cornwall over a period of years. Either this family were residents, or they regularly visited relatives living there (maybe his brother. As a rule of thumb, if you own the original negative, or positive slide, you own the copyright, but I am trying to identify the family, as some of these images would be very personal to any surviving relatives and I would happily return these at cost. Robert Woodhouse.  If anybody thinks they might know the Tratts who have disappeared without trace, if you know any Tratts, kindly put them in touch, I am not looking for profit.  Robert Woodhouse.                                                                                                         Many thanks Robert. More pictures are available if you can help.
