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.

Shortgrove Hall

Not long after this photo was taken, the building was completely destroyed by fire. At the time it belonged to the Butler family. Charles being the owner. I remember he had a model railway set up, that extended from room to room on the ground floor. The shortgrove estate was I believe about 2000 acres of arable/pasture/woodland. I knew many of the farm workers. Happy days.

Sawmill

My Great Grandfather's brother used to own a sawmill in Newport in Wartime (World War II). His name was George Alfred (Alf) Ginger and Alf was married to Rebecca. My father remembers visitng the sawmill as a boy, seeing his cousin Seorus and hearing stories about how their house, situated near the mill, was haunted. My father's Uncle Ralph would make matchsticks stand up on end! I would be interested hearing from anyone who knows anything about the sawmill or my long lost relatives.
