Having a bit of a clear out and found these four photographic images that I had taken from 1905 postcards. All the picture are on good quality photographic paper, so reading for framing.
Selling at £5.00 for all four photos..
,
I also have a spare of The Embankment photo showing the River and boats, which I can sell for £1.25.

First come, first serve...

Thanks

Looking for a unique and bespoke present to buy someone for Christmas, then why not buy them a gift voucher they can put towards tracing their ancestors or finding out about the history of their property. We can either do the research for someone, or teach them how to do the research themselves. You can also purchase a gift voucher to purchase one of our on-line genealogy courses. https://bedfordshireresearch.co.uk/gift-vouchers

No two buildings are the same - they are as individual as you and I - and often have fascinating stories to tell.

Researching the history of your house can reveal your building’s unique past, including information on when it was built, by whom, and who owned the land beforehand. In many instances research will uncover the original architectural drawings, together with old pictures or illustrations throughout the years.

Bedfordshire, Genealogy, Family and House History Research are running a 5 week on-line zoom course on 'How to research the history of your house'.

The cost is only £30.00 and starts next week.

If you are interested email enquiries@bedfordshireresearch.co.uk

This course aims to show you how you can research the history of your house. It aims to show you what you can find out about your house on-line, and where you can find other information locally. The focus is entirely on properties in Bedfordshire

Whilst sorting through my postcard collection of Bedfordshire, I came across this rare postcard of the Women's Land Army on parade in Bedford in 1914. I thought I would share it with you all

The Harpur Centre in 1915, when it was the 'Modern School'. What is just as interesting is the row of shops in the bottom left hand corner, near where M & S is now currently located. At one time, the corner plot where M &S is now located was a pub

Just saw a great photo of The Old Granada Cinema in Bedford on page "If you grew up in Bedford....".

Reminded me of this Edwardian postcard I have.
