This image is a coloured postcard: These coloured postcards were produced by the Frith company in the 1950s and 60s, in the earliest days of coloured postcard production, and were printed using a process called collo-colour. Although the results look quite basic to modern eyes, used to the wonders of the modern printing process, these postcards have a certain period charm as delightfully nostalgic ephemera items from the not-so-distant past.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

We remember well Mr Arthur Harry Read telling us about his father Henry who was employed as gamekeeper at Brandon House. It was his inlaws who were last of the flintknappers. Henry was also gamekeeper at Kimberley Park, and raised his family in Thetford forest.
