This is my #nanowrimo postcard for now.

"Bristol. Cathedral & Statue."
c.1910, publisher: M.J. Ridley, Bournemouth

#Bristol #Postcard #OldViews

A rather uninteresting vintage postcard with a maybe marble statue of Queen Victoria in front of a cathedral building. However, on the steps in front of the statue, there are about nine men standing and sitting. One is leaning on a walking stick. One has a stick in his hand. One is man has a white beard and black hat, and a younger boy stands next him. Two are lounging against a surrounding fence. One is standing away from the camera but looking over his shoulder. All are looking at the camera.

Also, as I'm writing my #Nanowrimo story about postcards, this is the current one

#London #Postcard #OldViews

Vintage postcard (postmarked 1907) of a street in London, with a row of Medieval timbered buildings and some less distinct taller buildings to either side. Various horse drawn vehicles are passing (a cab, a yellow delivery van, a wagon, a coach? drawn by two horses, a three-wheeled bike with a box on the back) . People walking along the footpaths. Others crossing the road. All very busy and not that different from now, just different traffic.
Caption says "Old Houses, Holborn,  London" but

🇩🇪 Altes Palais (Old Palace) & the Leineschloss (Leine Palace) in Hanover, Germany - a coloured steel engraving by Louis Hoffmeister from 1843, after a drawing by Georg Osterwald.

The Leine Palace was rebuilt after WWII. It used to be the burial place of King George I of Great Britain.

The street looks completely different nowadays.
