Puzzles
375/6 A conveyance pulls up outside “The Cherry Tree”
pub (D. Sandland collection)
375/7 This postcard was addressed to a lady in Darlington
and the message included the information “we are 3 miles
off the station”. Assuming the view shows the sender’s village,
can anyone place it? (Verna Palmer collection)
375/10 These two postcards above show long river or harbour
buildings on the opposite bank, super small sailboats
and indicate a nearby beach (John Woodford collection)
375/11 (left) Can anyone
pinpoint the
whereabouts of “The
Union Hotel”, which
sold Usher’s Ales?
(Richard Roberts collection)
375/8 “This is where we live but the other side” ran the
message on this uncaptioned postcard. The parade of
shops includes Veasey (Reliable Boot Stores), Emerson
(Refreshment Tea Rooms) and J. Woods’ drapers and
milliners (Sheila France collection)
375/12 (right) Yet another
pub! Postcard publishers
left lots of these cards
uncaptioned, presumably
because they thought the
pub name was sufficient
recognition. Not for us
today, though! This is the
“Albert Inn”, which sold
Hancock’s Flagon Ales &
Stout (Chris Doble collection)

375/9 (left) Top Paris postcard
publishing firm Neurdein Freres produced
this card of the French president’s visit to England in
July 1903. The crowd scene was photographed in the
‘Guildhall Quarter’, outside J. Rutherford’s shop (“left over
cloth bought to any amount”) at no. 167. Which town or
city, though? (Helen Binns collection)
