About this Website
This website originally consisted only of postcards of Stratford-upon-Avon and the surrounding towns
and villages. However it has grown, and although there are over 300 cards of Stratford, London has far
exceeded this total and there are ever increasing numbers of cards from other places in the world,
chosen for no other reason than that we have visited, lived and/or worked in them and liked them, or
because some visitors to this site have asked us to include their favourite place.
Please help us !!!  
If you like this website, please help us maintain it !

(A) Advertise with us. Our charges are minimal - please visit our "Advertising" page.

(B) If you are filthy rich, (some of you must be !!) send us lots of lovely money so we can go out and
buy some super old postcards !! Good quality old postcards aren't cheap, even on eBay.


(C) Perhaps you run a site about postcards. Let's exchange links - this is always mutually beneficial as
it helps improve both our Google rankings.


(D) We'd be delighted if you would sign our Guest Book ! We welcome suggestions, corrections and
constructive criticism - or just say "Hello !" and tell us where you come from.
Many postcards, especially those in Raphael Tuck's "Oilette" series and also a lot of American postcards, have descriptions on
the reverse. Where appropriate we have included such descriptions in inverted commas in the notes beneath the image.

We are constantly adding postcards to the site, so that some of the pages you visit may still be "under construction".
To contact us, please email us by using this link.

You may click on many of the images throughout this website to see an enlarged picture, the
size of which will depend on your browser.

As far as we are aware we haven't infringed any copyright laws, as almost all our postcards are
well over 50 years old. However, if we have, we apologise, and if you will email us and tell us
what is wrong, we will remove the offending image.
We were delighted to have been able to assist the English National Opera by providing one of our postcards for inclusion in the
programme for their Spring 2006 production of Vaughan Williams' rarely performed comic opera "Sir John in Love".
The composer spent several weeks in and around the Old Theatre in the autumn of 1912 and the spring of 1913, working as
musical director for Frank Benson and his production of "The Merry Wives of Windsor" and fell in love with the play. He wrote
the opera in the mid 1920s and it was first performed in 1929 at the Royal College of Music. Click on the following link to visit
the excellent  ENO website.
MORRISON'S
Do you shop in Morrison's, by Stratford-upon-Avon station ? If so you may well have seen some of our postcards reproduced
there, many by the checkouts. Go and have a snack in their restaurant and have a look at the "picture windows", illustrated
below.
Several of the postcards from our Windsor page were used by Granada TV in "David Starkey's Monarchy: The Windsors" which
was broadcast on Channel 4 on Boxing Day 2007. We are pleased to have been able to help with the production.

Roger Wilmut's Web Pages
This is a really interesting site for fans of music hall and opera.
Roger went to Warwick School and his father taught at KES - and
there is a photo of the river at Stratford frozen with people walking
on it !
