Amongst my brothers and sister, several have framed prints of the one group photograph of us all as small children on an armchair. They also have a shot of the Pengilly family boot repairs shop circa 1900, even though the people in the picture are unrelated. Maybe these pictures have become important because there are so few records.



It was this lack of photography of the family that inspired me to make this book. I also wanted my nieces and nephews to have a record of all of us that might inspire them to create a similar project later.
