Ermine Street c1907
This wonderful image is taken from an original postcard and shows
Ermine Street alongside the Hardwicke Arms, looking north. Smoothy's
shop is on the left behind the telegraph pole and the sweep of Arrington
Hill can be glimpsed behind the furthest cart. It's a quiet morning
scene taken during high summer. |
| The postcard is postmarked Arrington on the 21 February
1908 although the image may be dated earlier. The postcard was sent
from M Reed to "my dear brother" Henry J Reed, who later
became Arrington's shoemaker. The original image is badly faded
and some digital restoration work has been carried out. The white
markings on the right are caused by impressions from the reverse
causing surface wear. |
| The photographer is believed to be Robert H Clark
of Royston. |
