Shall we go to the Hippo?
A post card from the Wrench Series of Southsea Terrace. Edith wrote to say that she was going to Brighton on the following Monday and would like to see her brother and may take him to the Hippo. His elder daughter, Betty said that her father enjoyed variety theatre and one of his grandchildren added that he found Monty Python funny when they watched the programmes together in the early 1970's.
October 22nd, 1904 a Saturday. It was the day that the Imperial Russian Navy fired on British trawlers, the Dogger Bank Incident.
