Pictures of Bromley from a collection by G.W. Dunn
Although many of the views may be familiar and some can be seen on other pages on this site, the actual photographs appear to be unique. It is not clear if they were commissioned by a member of the Dunn family or simply taken by a local photographer (of which there were quite a number at this time) for sale.
To view the photos in more detail, click on any of your choice. You can then move forward or back by clicking on the small arrows on the left or right of the picture.
