Findmypast Friday: Step into another era with historical photographs

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

==========================================

Step into another era with historical photographs this Findmypast Friday  

England & Wales, Return of Owners of Land 1873 

Published in 1873, this book details all owners of land over one acre. New this week, there over 269,000 transcripts and images to explore, which should help you unearth a name, home address, and details of the land they held.  

Scotland, Return of Owners of Land 1873 

The same survey as above was carried out in Scotland. It similarly lists names, addresses, land sizes and valuations with just over 20,000 records. This collection is also new to Findmypast this Friday. 

Ireland, Return of Owners of Land 1876 

This existing collection has been updated and improved, and contains around 33,000 records. While the survey for Ireland was taken in 1873, the report was not published until 1876.  

Findmypast Photo Collection 

A further 814 historical photographs have been added to this collection, all taken by Daily Mirror photographer Bela Zola between 1947 and 1955. These wonderful images offer a real glimpse into daily life in postwar Britain.
