The building here, faced with the yellow stone of the Cotswolds region in England, and having a roof of slate tiles, lies beside a river. It was built in 1380 to store wool, and made into individual houses for weavers in the 17th.

It’s now owned by the National Trust.

1965 Couple in a Garden

The image appears to be an old photograph featuring two individuals standing outdoors.
There is a male figure on the left and a female figure on the right, both of whom are dressed in formal clothing with the man wearing a red jacket and tie, while the woman is in a black dress with white collar detailing.
They both seem to be posing for the photo.
The background shows an arched structure that could be part of a garden or park setting.
There's no visible text in the image to provide additional context.

While scanning photos taken by a relative in the 1950s, I came across what is possibly the earliest documented use of selfie stick in Finland.
