Description

The collection comprises a black and white postcard of Sandown Castle, at Deal, Kent. The postcard was published before 1930 and uses an original photograph taken in 1863 by a photographer named Fanklin. The postcard was posted in October 1930 to the Antiquary Aymer Vallance from Geoffrey Lucas who remarks that "this view shows the third of the Henry VIII castles near here. It is now probably all destroyed..".

Sandown Castle was built between 1539 and 1540 but most of it was washed away by about 1882. It remains a scheduled Ancient Monument. Only one or two other photographic views are known, and the only other views in the NMR show a few remaining stones.
