November 4th 1908 – Postcard from Abingdon
July 15, 2017
At the recent open day at the Abbey Buildings some visitors bought along this postcard. I am not sure it can tell us a lot about Abingdon but they very much wanted to return the postcard to the place where it originated, to help tell a story.
It was posted in Abingdon on November 4th 1908 at 9. PM. The postcard was to Miss A Thorpe living at 253 Banbury Road in Oxford. The writer Gert, and her sister Emily, signed the postcard. Gert said they had just arrived safely in Abingdon at 8:25 and would write a letter later.
So can anybody add any more to the story?

What wholesome wenches! No wonder the poor boy’s a little flushed …

Wholesome? I’m quite disgusted, you can see that woman’s ankle!

Wonder if her sister’s name was Daisy?
