Description: | The photograph that this key refers to shows the first and second generation of the Palmer family with some of their key factory employees. (The photograph itself can be found by typing 'Acacias' into the Search Engine). The following people can be identified from the caption - Mary Palmer (George's mother) in bath chair, George and his wife Elizabeth Palmer to her right, George William Palmer (George's eldest son) standing between them in the second row, Robert Meteyard (George's father-in-law) far left with white beard, Samuel Palmer (George's youngest brother) holding checked rug and his wife Mary Jane far right, Alfred Palmer (George's second son) with top hat sitting, William Isaac Palmer (George's younger brother) behind Alfred holding his lapel and Charles Brown bareheaded to his left. Joseph Leete and Henry Lea are directly behind the bath chair. It was taken in 1870 in the garden of George Palmer's modest Bath stone villa, The Acacias, in London Road. The house was built in 1818 by a local salt merchant. The original owner's trade and its rectangular shape earnt it the nickname of Salt Box Hall. George moved there in 1865 and died there in 1897. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | Joseph Leete social history trade Charles Brown Alfred Palmer domestic portrait George William Palmer George Palmer Robert Meteyard Mary Jane Palmer Samuel Palmer William Isaac Palmer Elizabeth Palmer Mary Palmer Henry Lea | Temporal: | start=1870-01-01; end=1870-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
