WDPS's History Boys - Albert & Chas

On the basis of some loving and profound research into the Society's history done by Chas Willmot, Albert Bale, one of the longest-standing members of this North East London Photographic Society, WDPS, produced a souvenir brochure for the Society's centenary celebrations in 1994. The "digital revolution" was still very much in its infancy when Albert produced the brochure. The brochure text has been reproduced unaltered to illustrate how much photography has changed (and how much it has remained the same) over ten years as well as over hundred-ten years:
Walthamstow Photographic Society, later to be renamed Walthamstow and District Photographic Society, was established on 20th June 1894.
Or was it?
