    Small observation most of the post boxes in those pics are VR (Victorian) I wonder how many are still left. We have a rare, small, wall mounted Edward VIII one around the corner from us

    Amazing photos .......... which I found particularly interesting as my late mum was born in 1929

    I went to Clovelly in Devon last year which is pictured numerous times and it still looks exactly the same !!

    Some great shots and what great colour quality given the technology of the day.
