Fargate postcard

Recommended Posts

A postcard of Fargate. It was published by Boots Cash Chemists under the Pelham series. It is numbered 193 which dates it to around 1905. It was never posted so there is no postmark to say where and when it was posted.

The same picture, but tinted, on Picture Sheffield  postmarked 1907 ------  http://picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;t06393&pos=11&action=zoom&id=95197

Yes boginspro, that's a later card than the original b&w one. Interesting to see the mention of the Green Dragon Hotel on the left, later to become Winchester House. It would appear that the Hotel was there for over one hundred years according to the trade directories:
