Photographs from the 1940's and 1950's uncovered

I was recently sent two photographs of ‘Seran’ taken in the 1940’s and early 1950’s when she was owned by Geoffrey Wright of Belbroughton and latterly, Broadwas-on-Teme, Worcs. The earlier of the two (below, left) is thought to date from the mid 1940’s not long after she was acquired by Mr. Wright and substantially unchanged from her reconstruction in 1934. She is photographed in Tenby harbour on the Pembrokeshire coast. The gentleman on board is a Mr Jenkins who was a close friend of the Wright’s. The second (below, right) is thought to date from the late 1940’s / early 1950’s and was taken at nearby Saundersfoot harbour. A number of changes including modifications to the wheelhouse, stanchions along the main deck, an additional sixth porthole and fresh paint / varnish suggest this is the later of the two photographs.  

With particular thanks to Sarah and Brian of the Belbroughton History Society and Terry, Reg and Gladys for their efforts, which are very much appreciated!
