Pictures from the past

Something a bit different for a change today. David Mitchell, of Bayston Hill, was so struck by the fine handwriting in this postcard from yesteryear that he emailed it in.
It was addressed to “Mr A. R. Mitchell, Radio Engineer, Claremont Street, Shrewsbury” and is dated December 5, 1932. It was sent by J.W. Lewis of The Mount, Higher Heath, Whitchurch.
David said: “As handwriting seems to be in the news at the moment I’ve attached a postcard my father received many years ago.
“If such attention was paid to a simple and mundane communication, how much care would have been lavished on a letter of condolence?
“I just thought the writing exemplified a slower pace of life.”
