Layston Church Postmarked 28th Sept 1908

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Published by E.E.Darville the stationers in Buntingford this card is postmarked Buntingford and dated as 27th Aug 1908. Listed on the front of the postcard as 'Layston Church, Buntingford' this appears to be from a different print run to the second postcard on this page from the same source.

Again published by E.E.Darville the stationers in Buntingford with a postmark of Buntingford on 29th July 1908. Very similar to the first postcard - the difference being the credit for the stationers is on the front of the card rather than the reverse, the same image is used on both cards.

This card is an un-used example of one published by A.G.Day of Buntingford - series number 171890. For some reason there is part of a Hertfordshire postmark on the blank side of the card.
