Old London Cards

Old Postcards

I was going through some of my family's photos the last time I was in Canada and I found these interesting postcards.  They are all blank and I have no idea when they were bought.  I was the last family member to go to Britain, and that was in 1983 or thereabouts, but I think these are from before then. I hope you enjoy them!

Hyde Park Corner and Hilton Hotel, London

I wish that whoever had bought them had dated some of them, it would have been nice to know just when these were from.  Sadly, the last postcard in particular has had a bit of a rough life, and they do smell a little mildewed.  Fun to look at though!

A Special Card

From South Africa, 1968

When I was a child, my father worked for various oil companies.  One of the companies was in South Africa.  He went there to work and my mother and sister and I followed him a few weeks later.  

Recently, I was in Canada and was going through old photos and I found this special card.  My father sent this card to us to let us know how he was and to say how much he missed us.  It was a lovely look at the early part of my parent's relationship.
