Over the last few years I have been gathering, digitising and getting the story behind the few remaining photos that my late grandfather, Ken Bath took during his +- 30 years as a photographer.
Thanks to my Dad (Leigh Bath) for sharing a little more about his dad, my grandfather, Ken (Kenneth Charles ‘Ken’ Bath 1915 – 1985). I am delighted that I could bring these photos back to life and share his wonderful work.
