  • An elderly gentlemen member of an unknown rowing and sculling club looks at activity at the annual Henley-on-Thames boating festival.

  • St George's Day flags fly during the lunchtime of 23rd April, England's national day. Christian worship has probably been offered at this location at the church of St. Botolph’s without Bishopsgate since Roman times.

St. Botolph without Bishopsgate may have survived the Great Fire of London unscathed, and only lost one window in the Second World War, but on 24 April 1993 was one of the many buildings to be damaged by an IRA bomb.

  • A detailed of an unknown species of red apples ripening on trees in an English garden orchard. The fruits are a healthy red and are bathed in sunshine as they deepen their flavours before falling to the ground if not picked soon. The apple tree is one of the most widely cultivated of fruit trees. They are deciduous (they shed their leaves in the autumn) and are small reaching just 5-12 m tall. They normally flower in spring, producing white flowers, sometimes with a pink tinge. The fruit matures in mid-late autumn, and can be eaten raw, used in cooking, juiced or made into cider.

  • A holiday couple sleep on portable beds in a particularly shabby corner of Bournemouth, a seaside resort in southern England. Above them are posters for this seedy part of the seaside resort on the south coast. Stars appearing in the summer season are an Elvis impersonator and the comedians Joe Longthorne and Les Dawson, who is appearing in Ray Cooney’s show called “Run For Your Wife!” The couple lie on their fold-up chairs, stretched out in a quiet corner below peeling plaster walls and beside a chained-up stack of deck chairs. The scene is a quintessentially English resort town that many from the 60s and 70s recall, when the Spanish package holiday suddenly became more attractive options, than the domestic week at home.

In the 1950s, Bamforth postcards were among the most popular of the 18 million items purchased at British resorts.
