Familiar?


If this final one looks familiar to you regular viewers, that's because I posted 
it a few months ago without knowing that it was Laurence Woodford.
Many thanks again to David Life Model for sharing these photos!

  1. A wonderfully evocative image. Mr Woodford's superb physique, displayed beautifully. I have ideas, I'd love to find the location.

    1. Who knows? Perhaps you will. If I know anyone who could do it, it's you.

  2. Fine collection of photos.
    Not much biographical information is available on the elusive Woodford, like a comet he came and went.
    Laurence Woodford, the best of Britain. 🇬🇧

    1. I was able to find him on a number of 20th C British voting lists with a couple of addresses in the Bedford area, but not much else.
