New Blog. The Finch Family. I thought I would be able to find them in the records fairly quickly. How wrong I was!😄#OldPhotos #FamilyHistory #Gloucestershire #London #Wiltshire https://t.co/dPr8AvfNle

My latest acquisition, a postcard dated 1939, has inspired me to revisit one of my past stories.

New Blog. No #OldPhotos or #OldPostcards of this couple but I came across them & ended up, as you do sometimes, going down the proverbial rabbit hole! It’s a tragic tale #FamilyHistory #Bristol #Gloucestershire

Anyone up for a handwriting challenge? I’m assuming it’s the same surname, really not sure.

A SUPER day (Day 1 of 2) was had at #WokingSpring26 today. 115 collectors came through the doors in the first 15 minutes! The first two hours were borderline crazy in terms trading activity, & this held up all day . Open tomorrow 10:00-4:00. There are more pics in another place

In Southend tonight, speaking about the Officer Cadet Battalions and ‘Temporary Gentlemen’ to the local branch of @TheWFA. A stop to look at the fine cenotaph on Clifftown Parade. Lest We Forget.

Triaging my #military #WW1 postcards. Does anyone recognise the cap badge worn by the chap on the left. #RAF on the right, but stumped on this one.

All the indications are that Saturday’s Exeter Postcard Fair was a great success. As well as busy dealers and happy collectors, it seems that its reputation as “The friendly fair” is well-founded. The next event at the Clyst St Mary venue is on Saturday 18th July; check it out ..

🌼All dressed up for a day out on this bank holiday🌂👒
A recent CDV from eBay, no photographer/area, but it’s a great photo!
Taken about 1870, I would love to have known more about these ladies. Middle class & friends not family I’m thinking🤔👒🌂

By any measure, Shoreham Postcards & Ephemera Fair on Saturday was a great success. 165 collectors attended, 20+ dealers were kept busy all day, & the in-house cafe did a roaring trade. The next fair at the Sussex venue is on 27th June (with the “Bumper August Fair” after that)💥
