Unused Chadwick Studio Productions postcard with four identified scenes. Grade: 1

Code: 20516540T
Price: $5.00
Wainsford Road, Pennington, Hants
Whatever Wainsford Road once was — and this real-photo unused Sun Ray Series sepia card C.M. 1938 is quite old — our cursory Google search showed property prices there now are really high. So they’ve done well. Grade: 1

Code: 20516541T
Price: $6.00
Warwick Castle, The Courtyard from the Mound
The postmark is there but not totally legible on this real-photo card that we think was mailed in 1951, with stamp still there too. Grade: 1

Lydd, Ferryfield Airport
London Ashford Airport is east of Lydd and south of Ashford in the district of Folkestone and Hythe, in Kent. Originally named Lydd Ferryfield, it is now known as London Ashford despite being 60 mi from London and actually closer to France, which is where this real-photo card was mailed in the late 1950s or early 1960s, we’re not certain. The stamp and indistinct postmark are there, and someone corrected the postal code. Grade: 3

Code: 20516545T
Price: $9.00
Morefield, Thongsbridge
The name of the village is derived from the old Viking word ‘thong’ meaning a strip of land. One of the first records of Thongsbridge is from the early 13th century… it expanded in the early days of the industrial revolution, its location being ideal for water powered textile mills. The valley bottom was affected by a number of floods: Holmfirth Flood of 1852 was one of the most severe, with houses and parts of the local textile mill swept away. The village had a station on the railway branch line until 1965; the goods yard and railway trackbed have now mostly been built on but can still be seen in places. On 6 July 2014, Stage 2 of the 2014 Tour de France from York to Sheffield, passed through the village. With all that out of the way, this is an unused real-photo card with some age staining on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20516546T
Price: $4.00
Oddicombe
This sepia, real-photo card has a 2d stamp and postmark that makes it look like the card was mailed in 1831, which of course it was not. No explanations, but we would estimate the correct date to be 1940s. Apart from that, nice view. Grade: 1

Cheddar Gorge, The Pinnacles
Cheddar Gorge is a limestone gorge in Somerset, and the site of the Cheddar show caves, where Britain’s oldest complete human skeleton, Cheddar Man, estimated to be 9,000 years old, was found in 1903. Older remains from the Upper Late Palaeolithic era (12,000–13,000 years ago) have since been found. Cheddar Gorge, including the caves and other attractions, has become a tourist destination; in a poll of Radio Times readers, following its appearance on the television programme Seven Natural Wonders, Cheddar Gorge was named as the second greatest natural wonder in Britain, surpassed only by Dan yr Ogof caves. With that, we start a short series of unused but highly aged sepia cards from Photochrom Co. This one is card 7608A. Grade: 2

Code: 20516548T

Clifton Suspension Bridge
It spans the Avon Gorge and apparently took 100 years to complete. The card’s caption is nicely descriptive. As for other things, the 13p stamp is there, and a faint postmark maybe showing the card to have been mailed in the 1980s. The legible part of the mark celebrates Royal Mail’s 30 years of service, so you can do the math. Grade: 2

Code: 20516553T
Price: $2.00
Salcombe, Southpool Creek
We can only observe that this is a wonderful representation of an Olde English postcard. Mailed in 1946, with stamp and readable postmark. Grade: 1

Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, Viewed from South
This property has a colourful background. Mount St Bernard Abbey is a Roman Catholic, Trappist monastery near Coalville, Leicestershire, and founded in 1835 — the first permanent monastery to be founded in England since the Reformation and the sole Trappist house in England. The monks brew the only Trappist beer in Britain. The Wikipedia entry for this is amazingly rich. And the card? Mailed in 1989 with a sort of psychedelic 19p commemorative, airmail label, and postmark over those. Thus sayeth GPS. Grade: 1

Code: 20516570T
Price: $3.00
The Beatles, Abbey Road
One of the most famous photos in contemporary music history, and plenty of postcards of it — but you’ve found this one, mailed in Canada (not England) in 2023 with an uncancelled $2.71 stamp. You can do the math. Grade: 4

Code: 20516571
Price: $1.00
Alderney, Channel Islands – multiple views
Yes, we understand, we should have a separate category for all the independent or semi-independent (what’s the right term? autonomous?) islands in or near Great Britain, but we would never know how to do that — or where to stop. Maybe later. But, for now, this unused card of a location 21 miles from Guernsey. Grade: 1

Code: 20516572
Price: $4.00
Isle of Man, Port Soderick
We have a minor mystery here, brought about more by our lack of specific knowledge than anything else: this is a divided-back postcard (despite message also being written on the front), with its stamp and 1904 postmark. We thought 1904 was still the undivided back era, though they may have gotten a head start in I.M. Grade: 1
