Postcard of the Month: June 2025
/Swan Bridge, Pulborough
The publisher of this card, from the early 1900s, is not known. It was never posted, but the handwritten text can be seen to be in two parts. The sideways writing on the left states "Dear Phyliss, We are having a lovely time, out everyday. Today have had 3 1/2 hours on Arun" . The second part, written upside down, "To call to remembrance our 3 1/2 hours on River Arun, Thursday August 6th 1914", with "Honeymoon" underlined.
The card appears to have been kept and perhaps subsequently exchanged between the couple concerned, whose identities remain a mystery.
