The People of Gibraltar
1920s - William Bidwell RAMC - Gibraltar Photo Album



Catalan Bay - Top looks north - the rock in the middle is known as "la Mamela" - Bottom photo looks south - the larger rock nearest the camera was once called  "La Piedra de Martin"- the 'Kingfisher' - It honoured a local villager called Bernardo Bonfiglio who used to fish from it



Camp Bay - This south western beach was once used as a site for storing cables used by the Eastern Telegraph Company - for security reasons hardly anybody was allowed there - These photos must have been taken after 1923 when the cable depot was moved elsewhere
