Postcard of the Month: July 2021

Stopham Bridge

This card features a painting of Stopham Bridge. The White Hart Inn, close to the picturesque bridge, was a popular destination for small craft on the Arun. The card was published by A. Vivian Mansell & Co. Ltd of London, and posted in Billingshurst in 1943 by an unknown sender. It was addressed to Mr. & Miss. Procter in Brockley.

The back of the card is quite distinctive, using biblical quotes for the text accompanying the little pen sketches.
