The way we were Photographs from the Country Life archive

1950s un published This is one of a set of photographs showing the same man and a child at various locations in the environs of Ripon Cathedral, North Yorkshire. Unfortunately, it’s not clear why these pictures were taken or who the two people are. Perhaps a reader will know. Here, the boy perches on the wall of High Saint Agnesgate.

Every week for the past 125 years, COUNTRY LIFE has documented and photographed many walks of life in Britain. More than 80,000 of the images are available for syndication or purchase in digital format. To view the archives, visit www. countrylifeimages.co.uk
