My New England photo library

With a few days to spare before speaking at Hostelling International USA’s 75th birthday bash in Boston I set off on a quick circuit of northern New England. Some photos from my travels through Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont: Marblehead started life as a fishing port, today it’s a classy Boston marina but many old houses survive from the town’s early days.  Signs document their construction date and early occupants – lots of fishermen, mariners and, later on, cordwainers – shoemakers. I’ve always liked naive art and Marblehead’s JOJ Frost took up painting after his wife died

in 1919. He was already in his 70s and spent the last six years of his life producing colourful paintings that provide a snapshot of life in the port at that time. click here for more New England photos
