PHOTOGRAPHS capturing 20th-century life in north-east Essex are now on display in Brightlingsea.
The images, taken by Clifford Lawrence, are being shown at All Saints Church in Brightlingsea and offer a glimpse into the region’s past.
Lynn Ballard, who organised the exhibition, said: "Mr H. C. (Clifford) Lawrence was born in 1895 and had a passion for photography, taking 35mm slides of many aspects of the town and country.
"When he passed away in 1993 aged 97, boxes of his historic slides of the Isle of Wight and Cornwall were sent to the tourist information centres by Paul Diggens.
"All were delighted to receive his legacy from the 1950s and 60s."
Clifford Lawrence worked as a personnel manager at Paxmans in Colchester.
His slides of Colchester and north-east Essex were given to Lynn at the Colchester History Hub.

Lynn said: "The exhibition will be at the church all this week and I hope many people would enjoy the experience of a pathway through time.
Mr Lawrence’s grandchildren, Jackie Warren and Mark Lawrence, visited the church to view the display.
Jackie said: "I am delighted that my grandfather’s photographic legacy has been so important for people to view."
