I don't know. What I have posted there is all the context the Express offers - they had a photographer roaming the studies who snapped that as being of interest to their readers.

Check. That just happens to be a film I know was made at Gainsborough starring Boris Karloff in 1936.

But it is very cool, and while Billy does not look like my Granddad in obvious ways, when I see pics of him, I often get odd echoes of familiarity nevertheless - I think it's the shape of the face, something in the stance, presumably.

It's wonderful to be able to catch that kind of ghost as well as all the other cinematic kinds.
