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

Fire Brigade Gala Procession - Horsham 1881
A postcard from C to John Goodridge, but who was "C"? They wrote about a familiar face in the crowd.
John was born in Horsham and moved to Brighton when he was 18 after falling out with his employer. His father, William had been an apprentice to a butcher in Hertfordshire before he arrived in Horsham and became a Dairyman. As John bought his butchers business within 3 or 4 years of arriving in Brighton, aged 22 it seems likely that he was working for a butcher in Horsham before this.
