A woman from Rhyl, North Wales, is hoping to reunite a set of lost family photos with their rightful owners after discovering them on film inside a vintage camera she bought from a charity shop a decade ago.
Katie Rose Williams, 28, purchased the 1962 Bencini Koroll II camera from a charity shop in the Conwy area around ten years ago while she was still in college. Her photography tutor noticed the camera and offered to check if there was still film inside. He developed the images, but Katie put them aside and forgot about them until recently.
The photos include candid family moments, holiday memories, a visit to Stonehenge, and what appears to be a wedding. Katie has now shared 13 of the snaps on Facebook in an appeal to find the owners.
“I bought the camera at least a decade ago now when I was still in college in Rhos-On-Sea,” she said. “I found it in a nearby charity shop one day and didn't think much of it. Luckily that day my photography tutor noticed the camera and asked if he could check if there was still film inside and there was.”
One Facebook user commented that the pictures “must be at least 40 years old” and that none of the locations seemed familiar. Katie is urging anyone who recognises the people or places in the photos to get in touch.
