Found film in purchased camera

I've only ever found a roll of film that I shot myself as a child when I discovered my 1st camera stored away for safe keeping with a cartridge of 126 film still inside. If I remember correctly, the photos it contained were from a grade school class trip to Springfield, IL to see the Lincoln Home National Historic Site.

This thread has reminded of the video "This Is Why We Should Keep Film Photography Alive" from New Zealand photographer Paul C Smith:

Thanks great story!
 
I somehow found an undeveloped roll that I took of my kids almost 20 years ago and I somehow lost it through three moves... until last week. Oh, the memories....

I found these dry plates in the holders of a Goerz Ango large format camera that I bought from internet. This camera had been sold in a London photography shop in the late 20's, so the pictures, one must asume, are from the UK in the late 20's or the 30's.


But in fact the plates were already developed, and only being used as a base for undeveloped sheets of film. Unfortunately all the was not used (only some of them showed indications that people opened the holders and then closed them again when finding film inside).

Does anybody recognize that last one???. It looks like the English style gardens of a large palace.
