Connections in time: The Barber postcards
postcards to a North London family
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!”
This rural scene was sent to Winnie Barber in September 1922. The writer – her father – isn’t impressed with St Helens but is looking forward to seeing the rest of the island. Winnie’s address is 18 Moffat Road; perhaps she was staying with a friend or relative while her parents were away.
