Photos of Accy with someone you recognise on them

Hi, ever seen a photo taken somewhere and you just KNOW you recognise someone on it. My aunt married a Larder. They were a well known Baxenden family. Her father-in-law, always known as "Grandad Larder" always used to walk into town from Bash, even in his later years, and put a "bet on" in Accrington town centre and call for a "jar" at the old club which used to be on Union Street (where Barclays Bank now is) - then he would catch the bus home. When I saw this photo a few years ago, even though Grandad L had died by then, I just knew it was him, been "captured by the camera" for ever. He's the chappie walking away from the camera, with flat cap and walking stick. I just know if he could turn round I would find myself saying "hello Grandad Larder". :-)
