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 greatgrandmother was head housemaid at Warcop Hall before she married. The ladies from the Hall made a trip to Niagara Falls and brought her a gift. It is a beautiful purple velvet needlecase embroidered with crystal beads. On the back, in beadwork, it reads "From Niagara Falls." It has been one of my treasures most of my life. She became a Richardson after her marriage and we still have many relatives in the area.
My family lived in Warcop hall for 400 years until my stupid great-great-grandfather William Wild got some army generals drunk and got them to buy the house and all the land. My Aunt Sue (Sue James - now Sharp) was the last person in my family to be born there.
