Old Images of Rylstone District

This site was established by Wal Pilz (1927-2016) to share historical information depicted in photos and images of old scenes of the Rylstone District. Wal's belief was that sharing history was the best way to create a living history for Rylstone and the surrounding district. In Wal's memory, the site will continue to operate as an online database and you are invited to contribute images and information.

Identification needed - DAVIS family members

Can anyone identify the women in this photo and the location it was taken?

It is believed that they could be members of the DAVIS family as the photo comes from an album belonging to a DAVIS relative.

Please comment with any additional information or email Dan at oldimagesrylstonedistrict@gmail.com
