Postcards
Over the years Postcards were a means of communicating brief messages, sort of an e-mail before computers. Usually sent from a town or place of temporary residence or vacation, they conveyed a little bit of that place. The cards below and on the linked pages are of Ipswich and cover many decades. Wherever possible I have tried to date them. Click on the small images on each page to see a larger image.
