Ilfracombe from Capstone

Ilfracombe from Capstone
Shared for Vintage Theme Park's weekly theme - People - there are a few here ! A cropped version of an old print, from a collection I inherited from my grandfather. Photographed by the companies that made postcards, these were about 8" x 6" and on fairly thin paper. There were almost a hundred in the collection mainly of southern England, from Cheltenham south and parts of Wales. I scanned them all and then sent the originals to the relevant local history archives.
This view is definitely worth enlarging.

Definitely worthwhile to view on large! As always, astonishing to see the clothing worn to the beach in those days.

...and I don't suppose anyone knew about the need to cover up, to protect their skin from the UV rays!

Love the look of the rock outcroppings here. And the (abundant amount of) clothing is amazing, too, as Deborah points out.
