    A woman from Harrogate found the black and white image on the Stray on Monday. Now she is trying to find the person who lost it.

    A photograph of a nurse found on the Stray has prompted a search to find the owner of the image — and discover who the mystery woman is.

    Harrogate resident Dawn King found the black and white image, which she thinks could date back as far as the 1950s, lying in the grass at about 2pm on Monday.

    Ms King said she found it on the West park Stray near to Beech Grove.



    Ms King, who trained as a nurse in the 1980s, said:

    "When I trained we had exactly the same uniform but the pinafore had gone, which makes me think the image must be dated either in the 1970s or before."


    The photograph was quite damaged when Ms King found it lying in the grass.

    But there was no water damage, which suggests it hadn't been on the ground for long.

    Ms King has posted her appeal on various Facebook groups in the hope it will solve the mystery and reunite the image with its owner. She said:

    "It's obviously precious to someone."


    If you are the owner of the photo or have any information, email us at contact@thestrayferret.co.uk and we will forward the information to Dawn.
