Most folk will probably know the village of Leighton from seeing it from the road as they drive through, so this view will be unfamiliar to them.
It is a postcard photo by “R.L. Bartlett.” It was franked at Leighton in August 1913 and was addressed to Miss Jones, 31 The Friars, Stafford.
The message started: “Saturday. Dear Miss Jones, I think you may like to see our village, though I am sorry our house is not visible, being beyond the building on the right, just a field above.”
The signature initials are difficult to make out, but are something like “A.C.”
