Well, over the last couple of days I have managed to get a few more postcards scanned and uploaded to Flickr. There has been a steady interest in the new Vintage Seaside group and I have also managed to put a few more on there as well.
I will be pressing on this week with more scanning and uploading and apart from buying the odd card or two I think I will wait now untill I have worked my way through the cards that I have before buying any more ! ( famous last words ! ).

About Me

- I have been collecting old postcards of the Isle of Wight for many years and it was quite by chance that during a search on ebay I discovered a real photographic card depicting a large group of family and friends on Ventnor beach. Taken around the 1920`s or early 1930`s by a local photographer who probably roamed the beach in search of business I was facinated by this image from the past. Who were these people and how did they live their lives ? Did they all live nearby or were they on holiday ? The truth is we will never really find out as they were just ordinary people who thought it would be nice to have their photographs taken, a spur of the moment thing that has survived to this day. This is how my Flickr site Forgotten Faces began and you can visit by clicking on the View Flickr Photostream link at the top of this page or by going to My Complete Profile and clicking on My Web Page.
