Look closely at this picture of Broseley High Street and you’ll notice that one of the properties has writing on it.

It reads “This is our house” and was obviously intended for the recipient of this postcard, which was franked on September 24, 1903. It was posted by “E.D.” to a Miss A. Boys, of Bridge House, Wuden – the spelling is uncertain as the writing is difficult to read – Northamptonshire.

The street looks unusually deserted. Was it taken on a Sunday?

Picture: Ray Farlow.
