Greetings, my grandfather was Sydney N Folker who was active in silent films between 1916 and 1924, working principally for Quality Film Plays. Back in 1996 I visited your premises in Stephen Street, London with my mother and we donated some photographs of set construction. The arrangement was that we would be given copies of the photographs but I seem to recall that they were never received. If they were then they have been lost. I am in the process of re-writing Sydney's biography which will include a major update of his acting and film career and I would like to be able include those photos in it. In return, I would like to donate the Quality Film memorabilia and the "Pools of the Past" script which can be seen in his biography on my website at https://www.14november1940.com/names/folker/q5/q5acting/q5biographyc4.html  Kind regards, Malcolm Smith
