About


Co-founder of Our Town Story. If you have any questions about the site, or wish to provide feedback, please visit the Admin forum and post in the appropriate place - we'll do our best to help you out as quickly as we can!

We really want Our Town Story to be an album for your old photos, to fill in the gaps in the history books of our villages, towns and cities. We would also love for those pictures to be able to help others - for instance by using reminiscence therapy in treating dementia

We're still a work in progress, and we appreciate all suggestions and observations!

Image Details

This picture appeared for sale on eBay, and is labelled on the back: 'Arry & 'Arriet, Percy & Charlie, 22nd June 1911. Percy and Charlie have dressed as a pearly king and queen.

The eBay seller lists the postcard as being from 'Wimborne, Sussex', although the postcard is published by Edward Ash in Ferndown. George V and Mary of Teck were crowned on 22nd June 1911, so presumably this is fancy dress for a coronation party.

Hint: Drag the orange pegman to see the Streetview image...
