View from The Meadows, Wirksworth
A lovely view showing a line of elms along a road and stone
wall, meadows, houses and a large vegatable garden, some
light snow on the roofs and no leaves on the trees.
A straight drainage ditch runs across the meadow.
The Postcard reads "From a photo by J Watterson, Wirksworth" and
has George V red 1d stamp,
franked "PM 8, 4 Aug 1919 Matlock Bath".
Card addressed to:
Mr & Mrs J T Stone
152 Tiverton Road,
Bournbrook,
Birmingham.
Message reads:
Dear Children,
We got here all right & the weather was very nice yesterday
hope you all keeping all right. Will Jim please open any
letters & if any want answering will you please either answer them
or send them on here. & Pa wants Jim to see Joe Homes? & ask
him what they are fetching now. As he has got the chance
to buy some.
Love from Uncle & Aunt.

A nice card, no wonder there were 12 bids for it on Ebay.
