One interesting point in looking at these old piccys of the late Victorian/Edwardian era is to see the number of men who are wearing the 'boater' hat. As a fashion statement for young men, this was the equivalent of today's ubiquitous baseball cap.So I wonder just how many of those we see in those old pictures are the great and great,great grandfathers of the silly capped scumbags we see on a daily basis so disfiguring the town today?
