Overview

At the turn of the twentieth century the simple postcard became the go-to means of communication for thousands of Victorians and Edwardians, sharing their greetings, their stories and their gossip. The equivalent of the modern day 'status update' the postcards in this collection reveal the ordinary lives of the people of Carlisle, from tourists to locals. While many of the sights of the city remain the same, each postcard is a unique snapshot of a place and time. From an extensive collection of Carlisle postcards spanning over 100 years, this is the story of a city and its people, in their own words, from the mundane to the mysterious.
