The plates were found 25 years ago when a builder was clearing out an old house in Earlsdon and David has converted many of them to digital photos. Fred appears in many of the photos so he probably had some form of timer on the shutter release. As well as recording family shots Fred also took photos of events that occurred in the Coventry area. Overall, the photos provide a fascinating glimpse into the lives of ordinary working people in the early 20th century; some example are given below.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-postman.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1034\" src=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-postman-300x207.jpg\" alt=\"fred-postman\" width=\"300\" height=\"207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-postman-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-postman.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-m-bike.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1033 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-m-bike-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"fred-m-bike\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-m-bike-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-m-bike.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-train.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-1035 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-train-300x206.jpg\" alt=\"fred-train\" width=\"300\" height=\"206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-train-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-train.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-bike.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1036 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-bike-300x220.jpg\" alt=\"fred-bike\" width=\"300\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-bike-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/martonvillage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Fred-bike.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In November David Fry (pictured left) gave a fascinating talk about the work of an early Coventry photographer; a brief summary is given below.
