This lovely multiview card with silver trims was sent to Winnie Barber by Lily. The central image shows the Eddystone Lighthouse, and the other show “The Slopes”, Keyham Gate, Devonport, Saltash Bridge and Plymouth Hoe.

The brief message, written in pencil, is quite faded. Lily has been spending the day in Plymouth and is having a lovely time despite the weather being “a bit dull today”.

The postmark shows that the card was posted on July 22nd 1925 and was collected from the box at 1.30 pm.

This card was sent to George Barber at his workplace. The writer is having a really splendid time , with the sun shining most of the time. They are making the most of this by bathing, playing tennis, and walking 12 miles to the caves shown in the photograph.

The writer is clearly enjoying his or her holiday, judging from the comment “It suits me down to the ground!”
