Looking at the people in my grandfather's life in the early 1900's through his Edwardian post card collection.

Lewes from Cliffe Hill
This post card is by F.H. Smith of Lewes, another post card from this publisher reveals that he used a printer in Germany to produce his cards.
The message from Edith reveals that she had had boarders stay in her home, Miss H. was leaving. She was hoping that her brother could find her some more customers. By 1904 the Goodridge family had lived and traded in Upper St. James Street for 32 years so would have been well known. From my experience as an independent retailer, the shop would have been a reliable place that the local community could have asked about things like 'do you know where I can get a room'.
July 7th 1904 was a Thursday.
