Yes , it was the Hellenic School of Limassol-Limassol Gymnasium ( named Lanition Gymnasium in the late fifties)
There are photos of the Limassol port in the first half of the 20th century, taken mostly by Edwards, but i am not sure whether i have any of them myself.
Laiki Bank published a book with photos by Edward and can be ordered in any of their branches.

Some of them they are but some of them are not.
Of course , as it is natural , i have began using photos from the family archive but my purpose is not to create a pure family album on the internet.
As you might have seen above i have included photos from other sources as well.
Any body is welcomed to share any old photograph that might fit .An acknowledgement of the donor is always noted.
I am also doing a thorough treatment/correction/restoration of each photograph.The time needed for each photograph varies from an hour up to 30 hours in some cases. Of course to satisfy the purists in this field i always preserve the original shot either as a computer file or on paper if available.
Currently i am working on a photograph from the 20s that i have spend about 30hrs restoring it and i estimate that it will take me another 5hrs to finish.
In addition i am doing a separate project of preserving the photographic archive of skiing-related activities in Cyprus and the Cyprus skiing representation abroad Some of them are uploaded in a separate section http://cyprusski.fotopic.net/ and in the photo gallery of the official Cyprus Ski Club Site http://www.cyprusski.com.
Here too, some photos are mine but the vast majority is not, especially the archival type ones.
Thanks for inquiring.
