We have had an enquiry about an old photograph and it came from an Okehampton business named 'F.T. Marlow photographers'. Has anyone heard of them and when they were trading? as there is no date on the back of the photo which is in the format of a postcard. It was probably taken around the 1850's to 1910 /1920's. Thank you

Share a Memory ☺️

We invite you to add your stories or historical information to the Okehampton Memories website and would particularly like your personal memories and unpublished photos. They don’t have to be from long ago – they can be last week, last month or last year.

Your contribution will take a short while to appear while it is being reviewed by one of our editors who will check it and publish it as soon as possible. You can write your own articles and publish your own photographs.

You can email us [email protected] and arrange for a member of the team to pop round and collect anything you might have to be scanned and recorded. Free of charge of course!

If you would like to be more actively involved in the project, contact us and volunteer your services.

Send us an email at [email protected] to find out more!
