Street Photo
"This picture of
my Grandmother, Mary Cairns, and my Auntie Jessie Cockerell was
taken on the North Bridge early in the early-1930s.
I think this photo may have been taken
speculatively by a commercial or street photographer?"

Question

noticed the man unloading wicker baskets in this picture. What could
they contain?

Another Photo
Jim also sent me a photograph of his grandfather, taken on the North
Bridge, also in the early-1930s, and possibly taken speculatively by a
street photographer.

Baskets
"I noticed the question was asked: 'What could
be in those baskets on the bicycle?'
I asked my 98 year old Mum yesterday and she
said they could be meat parcels as they were delivered like that in quite
a big way and gave folk a wage - quite interesting I thought."
