This week’s pictures from the past

This postcard view of the Wrekin is probably from the first decade of the 20th century

Who is this gentleman immortalised in a photo looking towards The Wrekin of about 100 years ago? Perhaps he was just a passerby who agreed to pose for the photographer.

This postcard was franked at Wellington on July 28 and although the year is difficult to read, it is 0 something, so we are looking at the first decade of the 20th century.

The message was: “Dear Mr and Mrs Goodall, I was delighted to receive a card from the land of my birth. Wishing you both every happiness and a pleasant holiday with love, from yrs truly, B. Jeffries.”

It was posted to Mr and Mrs Goodall, of 86 Harcourt St, Dublin.

    I remember the coronation in 1953………in other words H.R.H. was not yet queen and therefore, not a reigning monarch.

    However, nice photo and thanks for sharing it.
