On this day 121 years ago... Hilda May would surely have been envious of the sights in Leeds!

On this day 116 years ago... Agnes Morgan arrives in Knutsford for jail... 👀😬 #Jail #EdwardianPostcard #OldPostcards

Some things never change! "I don't know how we are going to get home. We went to the station yesterday but they could not tell us anything because half of the trains are not running." #OldPostcards #trains

"Souvenir of the 'Royal Tour,' 1901", a Raphael Tuck & Sons postcard showing the route of the gruelling tour by the future George V and Queen Mary. This included a tour of the newly created Commonwealth of Australia as well as a jaunt across Canada and back.

While Archiving the new collection, I found this! This is a beautiful card embossed and detailed with gold paint sent from Emily to her niece Eliza Dogle on 23/11/1907. The detail becomes really impressive on the reverse side, where you can see the raised lines of the embossing.

A Favourite Find! Out of context note: "Tell Stan I should have the tortoise if you like it." From Sis to her Ma living in Ludlow, Salop, in 1907

I came across this little gem when looking for something completely different. It's of London's Tramway Subway at the Embankment. Knowing it was posted in 1912 gives a good suggestion of date. Now, what was I looking for...?! #Postcard #Genealogy

Relatable: "Hope you are not feeling too tired... Just going to have a nap." From Emma in Battersea to Maud Perry in Hammersmith 28/07/1908 #EdwardianPostcard #OldPstcards #tired

The suspicious mother-in-law serving some serious side-eye. Let's hope she didn't see this card... #OldPostcards #EdwardianPostcard #MotherInLaws

The Shambles, York, then and now. Much has changed but if you look closely you can still see the same puddle. #EdwardianPostcard #OldPostcards #TheShambles (second photo credit: shutterstock)

Postcards in place: Sent to Mr A. B. Richards in Montreal Canada, who had previously visited Lancaster Castle. #EdwardianPostcard #OldPostcards #LancasterCastle

The Bradford City of Culture project is going strong! I've finished inputting all the data into a spreadsheet, and I've started creating a visual map. Next it's time to track the genealogy and tell these stories! #OldPostcards #genealogy #BradfordCityOfCulture2025

On this day 119 years ago Ag sent a photo of her house she had been living in for 10 years commissioned for a postcard and sent to a friend, although she laments it's not the best view. But I still think its a very pretty view! #OldPostcards #EdwardianPostcard

Postcards in place: this Morecambe doesn't exist anymore, so this is my best attempt at placing it. On the 29th June 1907 an Aunt wrote to Nellie Thompson about her stay with her sister in Morecambe. There's 18 other postcards to Miss Thompson in our collection #EdwardianPostcard

Happy #Suffolk Day! This card was sent to Miss Kate Norfolk who worked in her father's pub, the Bucks Head Inn, in Campsea Ashe. Her friend Millie writes, "Expect a letter some time this week. as I want to tell you all the news I can." #edwardianpostcard #oldpostcards
