Some Bristol Postcards

Black Boy Hill, the upper part of Whiteladies Road, was named after the Black Boy Inn which stood on the hill until 1874.  The Inn was named after Charles II.  Whiteladies Road was also named after an Inn.

Here are a set of Royal Mail postcards featuring Mail Carriers built in Bristol.
The final two postcards feature the Bristol Trams and also the Clifton Rocks Railway.

Minehead - Yet more Postcards !!

Yet more postcards (but the last of Minehead for a while, I promise).
 
 Two postcards of the same farm - the name changes from the Victorian (?) to Edwardian (?) eras (dates guessed from the clothing).
 Looking towards the North Hill.
 Finally three views of Minehead from the North Hill.

Minehead - in Postcards

Minehead as a popular holiday destination meant that lots of Postcards of Minehead were produced and sent.
This first picture of "The Avenue" has been re-used by adding colour and a motor-car !
 
 
 The Metropole was the grand hotel in Minehead.
