| Description | Colourized photographic postcard showing "Cannon's Lane", Pinner. Two women with a baby and pram smile at the camera standing on the far pavement. Colourful houses behind a continuous hedge line the road behind them. A black 'x' on the right likely marks the entry to the drive of The Cottage, No. 20 (it is in the correct place). Beneath the women, caption printed in white script: "Pinner, Cannon's Lane".
Reverse divided into two halves, with space for stamp clearly designated. The postcard has been started - the address is filled in and a message has been begun on the left, but it is unfinished and was never sent. At the top, in the same hand, a note: ""The Cottage" Cannon's Lane, Pinner".
Above the space for the message, printed text gives a small blurb about the area: "PINNER, CANNON'S LANE. / Pinner is situated in Middlesex on the borders of / Hertfordshire, about 13 miles from London, and was / formerly a part of the ecclesiastical parish of Harrow. / The neighbourhood abounds in picturesque scenery, and / many most delightful excursions can be made."
Printed on the left: "Published by Herbert W. Alvey, Stationer, High Street, Pinner, Middlesex". |
