Your Photos

Do you have any old photos around the house showing people at work?

Along with people’s memories, we are always looking for photographs of our working lives. The photos do not have to be off Poole necessary, though that would be great.  We are looking of any images that show people at work between 1945 and 1955. Using these images we will be able to see as well as hear how things have changed.

For the opportunity to get your images published on our working lives please send them as attachments via e-mail to webmaster@ourworkinglives.org.

Along with being used on this website your images will be stored as part of Poole museum’s local history archive for future generations.
