Join us on Wednesday, 17th January at 10.30am for this, our first quarterly tallk of the day.
Michael explains that The Golden Age of postcard collecting, known as deltiology, was between the years 1902 to 1914, an era when collecting became popular.
With regular and efficient collections and deliveries it was not uncommon to find such messages as "See you at 2pm this afternoon"; the text message of yesteryear?
This book looks at the development of the publication and collecting of postcards in the Urmston, Flixton and Davyhulme area, and the postcards also chronicle the 'then and now' views of streets, pubs, churches, grand houses, parks, hospitals, railways, cenotaphs, canals and bridges.
