Yet here they are, beautiful black and white pictures that have remained hidden, buried in a loft waiting to be brought out into the light.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These pictures were taken by John Turner, a property manager based in the centre of London, and were recently unearthed by his daughter and her husband, Liz and Martin Carroll.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following John Turner&#8217;s death in 1987 a suitcase was passed to them by his widow, Betty. A quick glance revealed family photos and other pictures taken for his camera club, and it was consigned to the loft for 30 odd years.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toronto.
