……and slip into the pages of history itself. I have decided to close my local history research down and although I’ll leave this site ‘live’ – and answer any queries – I’m not going to add anything more. Many thanks to all my readers, it’s been fun!

Nothing on the back of this one, I’m afraid, but still a good card, don’t you think? 1920s I should imagine…

I promised, some time ago, that I would post these interior photos of Cordwalles School. They are part of a much larger collection but these are the only ones I have.

These two postcards are a bit of a mystery. They appear to come from the same set but, if you look closely at the pots of rhododendrons, they were not taken at the same time. Only one has a regular Post Card back markings and the other is completely blank. The card was posted in 1957 but the writer apologises, saying it was the only card she could find, so it may have been quite a bit older….
Do these look vaguely familiar?
If you are member of any local historical groups on Facebook you may well have seen versions of these where people have ingeniously converted the negative images available in adverts on eBay. I had to do it the hard way – I bought the negatives and had the local camera shop print them. Thought you’d like to see them….

The possible identity of this church has been much debated on another forum, but no conclusions reached. There is no indication that it is even near Camberley. Any ideas gratefully received…
