Thank you Norman for another peak into the past. While no doubt by today's standard of living,most lived on the poverty line, were folks any happier then with the slower life style and conveniences ?
Were larger families and more neighbours closer and more dependent on each other than today ? The photograph can conjurs up a lot of unanswered questions into the past and current way of living.
