Censor sensibility

Is this the notorious Pike Helve area of Brownhills? Click for a larger version. Image from an eBay sale posted by 88chatsworth.

OK folks – since I’m busy enjoying the good cycling weather, here’s a very quick postcard spotted on eBay for the handwriting and local Great War experts to ponder over.

A postcard on eBay from seller 88chatsworth, passed by the military censor and sent on Monday 2nd July 1917 to a lady in Pier Street, Brownhills.

You can see the auction here.

I’m interested in what we can find here about the sender, the addressee and their histories –  and also perhaps who the young lady is on the card.

If you can help, comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at googlemmil dot com. Get to it!

Was this a supermodel of the day? Image of a postcard on eBay sold by 88Chatswoth.
