A coach company is hoping to reunite a wedding album - filled with pictures from the couple's big day more than 50 years ago - with its rightful owner.
The handsome wedding album, which is filled with black-and-white photographs, was lost by a coach customer a year ago and promptly handed into staff at Birmingham Coach Station.
But despite the best efforts of staff to trace the couple, Patricia Cavanagh and Brian Lewis who are believed to have Wednesday in Dorset, the treasured album has remained unclaimed.
Details of the wedding have been filled in, listing the couple's names, bridesmaids Julie and Christine and best man Derrick.
Keen to return the album, the coach firm is appealing to the public for help.
NATIONAL EXPRESS - 45 YEARS OLD Pictured are Rosalyn Golds Head of Media National Express & Shaun Stead Coach Driver with the August 7th 1965 Wedding Photo Album of Brian Lewis & Patricia Cavanagh at St Clements Church. The photographic album was handed in after being found at Birmingham Coach Station.
After extensive research, company staff believe the church in question is St Clements in Neyland.
It was lost during what would have been the couple's Golden Wedding Anniversary, raising the possibility that someone may have been taking the album to a celebration.
The wedding album, with a well-worn cream cover, shows the bride wearing a traditional veil and a brocade gown with a pretty pearl trim while the groom looks dashing and best man Derrick sports a classic 1960s double-breasted suit.
"We don't know who lost the wedding album or why it was being transported but it is clear it must hold huge sentimental appeal to have been carried around after all these years".

The 15 black & white photographs hail from a "bygone age, when Beatlemania swept the world and Morris Minors ruled the roads", explained National Express, which launched the appeal.
"We're really keen to get this album home - wherever that may be - and would be overjoyed for it to be returned to its rightful owner".
Do you know the people this priceless relic belongs to?
