A 100-year-old print of the famous Cottingley Fairies photo hoax has sold for £1,050 at auction.
The original pictures were posed in 1917 by Elsie Wright and Frances Griffiths in Cottingley, Yorkshire.
Two prints were on offer at the auction held at Moore Allen & Innocent in Cirencester...
I'm sure they already have a thread but I can't find it.
Any way, did anyone see the Cottingley Fairies photos on Antiques Roadshow today?
They had the original prints and the camera they were taken with, brought in by the daughter of one of the girls.
Real fairy tales
I'm interested in hearing peoples real life encounters with fairies. I have no doubt they exist . We have many fortean type stories that have been handed down from generation to generation in our family. My favourite is the one that happened to my grandmother and her brother...
