LATEST ADDITIONS
NOTE - January 11th 2009
Several people have asked if I could incorporate a 'basket' and checkout. I can see the advantages but......
a) it involves setting up user-ids and passwords
b) unlike say, Amazon, I only have one copy of every card - which means that two people could put the same card in their basket, pay for it and then I would have no way of knowing who was first and it would get rather awkward. If you e-mail me I can reserve it for you on a first come, first served basis.
I still have a long term aim to code all the cards that I put on originally (all new cards are coded). At the same time I will check I still have them all and mark any I don't have as SOLD. If the page you are looking at has background colour then that page is 100% up to date (most of the others are 100% but I need to check).
Jan 10th - Lancs updated
Jan 14th - Durham updated
Jan 23rd - South and East Yorks pages updated. I'm going to do the rest of Yorks
next. This may take a while.
Jan 29th - All Yorkshire cards now numbered and checked. I can now start adding a
couple of 100 new ones
Feb 7th - Yorks updated with 300+ cards added
- Isle of Man totally revamped with with 13 new pages added
Please note that this site is mainly for pre-1960 cards. I also have 20,000 post 1960 cards - please mention whether you want moderns when asking for your area.
At present, this website will provide a set of 'Sales Pages with pictures' to supplement my original website at www.sjones41.freeserve.co.uk All postcards displayed here are for sale unless specified to the right of the image, but please contact us first to check availability.
This site will grow and change rapidly so please keep looking.
This (9000 cards) represents less than 20% of my stock
I aim to eventually get images of all old cards on display. If you can't see what you're looking for, please e-mail me - they are not all here by a long way. You can either e-mail me via the Contact Us page or at sjones@sjones41.freeserve.co.uk
I live in Lancashire, England.
I can accept payment for any cards by Paypal or by UK cheque (please do not send cash - it gets 'lost' in the post). I do not have facilities for credit cards (other than through Paypal, which seems to take about 8-10 days)
For postal details and charges please refer to the Contact Us page.
Please buy with confidence - if you're unhappy and think the card has faults not described then I do offer a full refund. I describe any faults, however minor.
The links on the left relate to each County page. As the county boundaries keep changing its difficult to locate cards where everyone can find them. The Bartholomews I use is 15 years old so it doesn't include Counties such as Hunts, Rutland etc, but does include Avon, Cleveland, Tyne & Wear, West Midlands. I have included these - but not Humberside, which no one seemed to like.
The counties will eventually be broken down into Towns/areas but if I start a page of, say Portland, it doesn't mean that's all I have - its simply that I'm trying to keep County pages reasonably small with only one or two cards from each town - hence the 'overflow' pages. I'm trying to keep everything linked - please let me know if you find any missing or broken links.
On each page are a set of images. For each image I have shown:
The exact caption
RP = real photo types, others are printed
The Publisher - where known
Dates are dates of postal usage (when used) or a reasoned estimate
The Condition - all faults described
Price
The images are deliberately low resolution for two reasons:
a) to be able to fit more on the site
b) to prevent image theft
WRITING A LOCAL HISTORY BOOK?
I can supply high quality images of all these cards (600 dpi) - and a lot more - at only 10% of the cost of the card (minimum 50p). Please ask for details
