Hi Shaunj
Thank you for the info, I know about the post card and Pte Little. I just wondered why the card would be on eBay, is miss Willson famous? Or do the cottages have history, did the Gents own them??
Thanks
Carol.

It's just an old postcard. People collect them.

How surprising, I've got a tin full of old family picture postcards, some of them have been interesting to read but I never thought of them as being worth £3 or £4 each. I'm a postcard heiress! ;D

You'll have noticed that on ebay the sellers often list the name and address - in case there's a potential buyer with a connection.
