Wroxton Postcards



These were a recent little purchase on a whim, and I thought I'd share a picture of them. They're all about a hundred years old. Some are used and so are postmarked with dates, but not all. I tried to order them, guessing based on the progression of the ivy!

There are some lovely messages: the middle on the left was sent to Miss M. Wells, 191 Hayley Road, Birmingham, postmarked 23 October 1909, and reads "Am pleased to say that the affair mentioned to you the other night passed off splendidly. Best wishes from yours sincerely H."

Deliciously, delicately cryptic.
