Postmarked Deal, Kent, dated 9 September 1932.
The message reads:
Dear Lily
We are leaving here at 2-30 & expect to be home at 6 o'clock. Sit in the chairs on the verandah if we should be late. I hope you had a nice time at Cromer.
Violet.So many of the old cards I have seem to have been used in place of a telephone conversation. The post must have been much more reliable and speedier than it is nowadays. I love the names too - Lily and Violet belong to a bygone time, and no longer fashionable. I wonder if they will one day be back in favour.
Unfortunately I haven't yet managed to find any reference to Deal Pavillion. I know it has been demolished because it isn't there any longer. Should anyone happen by who does have more information, I'd be delighted to hear it.
[See later post, "A place of entertainment"]
Wonderful.
