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?

My grandparents, William and Jane Herdman, lived in the village for many years, as did my great uncles and aunts. My mother was a pupil at the local school in the village. We went there in all sorts of weather for years. I remember walking for miles and almost being trampled to death buy a heard of cows off to be milked.
