Description

The donor suggested that this might be Padstow, but this cannot be confirmed as yet.

Archival History

The donor, Derek Sherborn, suggested in his letter to Ian Leith, Acquisitions Officer of 12th March 1992 that this image might have been taken in Padstow, but this cannot be confirmed as yet. The group of photographic postcards were bought at an antiques fair in East Sussex during the week preceding the letter being written.

The images may have been photographed using a 'Kodak Brownie' camera.
