Malcolm Mallett’s Portrait Gallery 1992

When Malcolm Mallett retired from his butcher’s shop, Ablitt’s in the High Street, in 1992,  he set about photographing the people of Yarmouth. We are grateful to his daughter Jane Blake, for sharing his photos with us. A selection of the portraits are here.
