A business owner is appealing to members of the public to help locate the owner of a photo dating back decades, after it was found in Braintree.


Caroline Pratt, 50, of Braintree Road in Cressing, was handed the photo by one of her customers on Thursday, August 20 after she found it on the floor outside Sainsbury’s.


Mrs Pratt, who owns Jet Set Hairdressers, posted the photo on Facebook that afternoon and by the next day it had been shared more than 800 times.


Mrs Pratt said: “One of my customers walked in with the photo and she said look what I have found. The photo looks really old, as soon as I saw it I thought people are going to miss that. I said I would put it on Facebook and see if we could find the owner.


“I think the people in the photo are father and son but look at the hair cut and the fact that’s it in black and white, it must be about 50 years old at least.


“It could be the boy in the photo who has lost it or a relation. I hope someone claims it, that would be lovely if we could get it back to its owner.”
