New Year greetings from New Barnet. I wonder what the initials M B meant to the sender and Jane Povey. I think that the card was from her stepbrother Henry Mould.
The Highstone is the Battle of Barnet monument unveiled in 1740 and the inscription on the four sides are
"HERE was fought the Famous BATTLE Between EDWARD the 4th and the EARL of WARWICK April the 14th ANNO 1471 in which the EARL Was Defeated And Slain.
TO HATFIELD VII MILES ¾.
FROM ST ALBANS VIII MILES ¾.
THIS WAS ERECTED 1740."
December 29th 1903 was a Tuesday. French Equatorial Africa separated into Gabon, Chad & Ubangi-Shar.
