Tate Collection
Edith Tate
a lot of photos, very few names, to save time I've cropped many in batches
of matching code numbers on the back
these numbers are written or printed on the majority of old photos and when
a large lot comes to me bundled in a bag it makes it really hard trying to
organise them into groups, so I organised them into groups according to the
numbers or letters on the back of them, you'll see those in (brackets) any
information on the groups of photos will be as follows: starting with a) top
left and going to the right b) , then down to the next row c) and again to
the right etc. etc.
On the computer you can right click each group of photos and open in a new
page, then minimise so you can see the writing that corresponds with each
photo. I've also included the numbers of individual photos, that was so I
could check that they didn't belong to any of the bigger groups.

8) a) This is a view of Calafrana, the R.A.F. station taken from the Hotel
Verandah. It is more than a mile away & will give you a fair idea what our
bay looks like. It is well names 'Pretty Bay' The two tall masts are
Wireless Aerials & are almost 150 ft. high. The pier is an admiralty pier
for use of the stations torpedo depot? only. b) This church stands on
the very top of the hill in the same cemetery & is the only one I have seen
of this type of architecture in Malta. I did not manage inside. c)
This is a fairly good view of part of the grand harbour, taken from a public
garden 200 feet above sea level. The big liner is an Italian one & you see
how the passengers are taken off by means of these small boats. The other is
a cargo boat. Behind is H.M.S. ? & behind that is the aeroplane carrier
Courageous. Unfortunately there was a sea haze that day & the big Hospital
beside the first tall mast is hardly discernable. d) This is a small
section of a very fine cemetery. It is supposed to be one of the finest in
Europe. Note the huge tombs & the fine marble monuments. e) This is
one of the huge tombs. They are very elaborate & costly things & inside is a
very beautiful altar, under the floor is the vault, & in one I saw in course
of construction, it will hold as many as 24 coffins, it is a square place &
there are 6 places in each side. f) You asked for details of the work.
Well here is it under course of construction. There are two Maltese men
there & the others are our own workmen. Sorry I could not be in the picture
as I was the photographer. Isn't it an isolated spot, as fully exposed to
the elements as it could be. g) "Monarch of all he surveys."
9) top: The Flower Clock, Princess Street, Edinburgh, taken the last day of
