Description

Postcard photo of Smugglers Cottage tea room, Herne, Kent, England. The postcard is unused and un-postmarked, and dates from 1920 to the mid-1930s.

Points of interest
  • The advertisements outside the tea rooms advertise Wills, Capstan and Westward Ho tobacco companies, and inside the right hand window the word, "Woodbine", can just be discerned (another tobacco company).
  • A young girl is walking down the side street, and beyond her is possibly a combination motor bicycle and passenger carrier.
  • Below the sign for the Prince Albert pub next door is an advertisement for George Beer & Co. Ltd; probably a local brewer.
  • On the roof of the tea rooms is a set of decorative chimney-pots.
  • The man's bicycle on the left appears to have a basket carrier, and may belong to a delivery boy.

Contrast

This print has darkened with age, but it would be inappropriate to adjust the brightness because detail would be lost.

Border

The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this type of vintage photograph. Some photographers trimmed their images more than others,and the border is part of the artwork. Researchers need to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
