Bury on the Arun

Published as one of the South Down Series No.5, by S.C.H., this early painted card shows a barge afloat near Henly’s barge dock. The tan sail is similar to that of a Thames sailing barge, so this may be the authentic colour. Further evidence of this can be seen on the Bury Barges card.

This card, written by Nora, was posted from Worthing on January 31th 1908, and was sent to Mrs. Spellor, ‘Velindra’, Brambeldown Rd., Sanderstead.
