John Logi Baird

Post by Gordon »

This picture of my mother was taken by John Logi Baird in his rear garden in Sydenham London England.

She was for some years live in house keeper for the Bairds and John loved photography, and used mother as a willing model. Another strange thing was that the Bairds loved Bedlington dogs, so for the rest of her life she had a bedlington at her site. Walt Disney and many famous names came to visit, Walt actually offered my mother a job. I think John Logi was loved by most people who met him.

I think the next photo is of Johns daughter Diana and the last is of the garden. Can anyone remember anything?

Thank you Gordon Mays son of Kathleen Faux from Abridge

Yes, it is. He lived at no. 3 from 1933 until his death in 1946. There is a blue plaque on the house.

Thanks for the pictures, Gordon, they are fascinating.
