Those who came to the Muriel Matters Society’s Magic Lantern Show recently at the St Peters Town Hall will be familiar with some of these images of old Adelaide. We are on the hunt for as much information about them as we can… location, year, subject matter – anything you think might be of interest. All we currently know about them is included in the titles included below. If you have any information to add please comment below or get in touch via email if you prefer… You might even spot your great- great-grandparents in these shots!! We will do the same call out for information about our UK slides soon.
Please put the MMS number and/or title of the slide in your response so we know which one you are writing about in your comment…
