A mystery no more

SIR – The photograph of Braystones Tower in last week’s Whitehaven News helped me solve a mystery of where a family photo was taken.
On the photograph, fifth from the left, is my great grandfather John Gair of Mount Pleasant, Whitehaven and the two ladies were perhaps his daughters.
I do not know what year it was taken, only that it was pre-1922 as that was the year John Gair died.
I thought your readers might like to see what the Tower looked like in the past, with windows.
I also enjoyed reading the article by Margaret Crosby about Whitehaven Town Mission. It will have brought back many fond memories to all the Sunday School scholars of the mission, of which I was one in the fifties and sixties.
