Happy birthday Garth Dawson.

Didn't realise he was a member, he hasn't posted, but has joined, and his 85th birthday is showing up at the bottom of the page.

Happy birthday, and many happy returns, to a man who has spent his life recording the people and the places of this area for most of his life.

All the very best.

I think you're wrong.

He was in the paper in June, celebrating his 60th wedding anniversary.

Am proud to wish this true gentleman the very best of wishes on his 85th Birthday. A legend in his own lifetime. He has snapped me on many occasions.

Keep meaning to purchase his book ... he must have lots of photographs in his 'cache' which would be of interest to us all.

Actually, saw a friend a few weeks ago who worked alongside Garth in his shop for years .. Roy. Roy was busy putting about a couple of thousand photographs on file ... hope there may be an opportunity to see it at some time.

Garth Dawson took my very first passport photo, in 1955, when there weren't photo booths around. I was 12. :)

I wish him a very happy birthday.

Re: Happy birthday Garth Dawson.

The local area has a lot to thank Garth Dawson for. He has recorded pretty much most of its history for the last fifty odd years. He will be remembered for a long, long time. So happy birthday, Garth, thank you.

Happy Birthday Garth - a man who has been flashing all over Accrington for many years and never got locked up. He no longer has a negative attitude.I thibnk it would have been garth who took my photo in Gatty Park in he summer of 1944 and it was printed in the Observer.

Re: Happy birthday Garth Dawson.

530 of Garth's fellow members of the Accrington Grammar School Old Boys send their best wishes too. Garth was at AGS when there were girls there too. He responded to one from me this very week.

Re: Happy birthday Garth Dawson.

I'm a very big fan of Garth Dawson and love the column he has in "Accrington Observer" every week where he shares old photos he took in the past when he was the paper's official photographer. He also exhibits in the Camera Club Exhibition at the Haworth Art Gallery every year! Long live Garth!
