Postcards from my grandma's

[Lady Muck]

Been to see my gran today, along with two glasses of sherry before 11am (way hey!) we looked through a box of old photos, she has a full set of Knottingley postcards, three of which feature the canal. So I thought I'd share.

You could get about £10 minimum for them on ebay. Canal postcards with boats do well.

You can see my school on the middle pic - it doesn't exist any more. My grandad worked as a furnace foreman at the glassworks opposite.

How sad!

 

Someone visits their gran, downs a couple of Sherries with her before midday,is given/loaned something obviously cherished and it's suggested by someone else that they're put on E bay to gain a tenner

I didn't read it as a suggestion - just an interesting point.

Could go for about £30 each or more depending on the bidders.

Superb, especially the first, I remember a hire boat holiday where we did the Aire and Calder, and saw the Tom Puddings, Dad even got the family a visit to the hoist while ships were loaded (we exported coal then) and permission to loop the loop around Goole Docks.

 

Happy Times, at 44, I generally wish I were younger, but sometimes, I wish I were older...
