The years 1900 to 1930 were the golden age of postcards, the subjects of which were usually topographical, risqué!, transport (buses or trains) or family snapshots and the size roughly 5½ by 3½ inches. Postcards were not only made of paper but also of leather and even wood.
At the end of the talk he showed a number of postcards which depicted local scenes, in particular one postcard outside the shops in Station Approach and one of Doods Brow School, the year being 1910.
