Henley-in-Arden, Warwickshire
Henley-in-Arden is a small town in Warwickshire about 8 miles north of Stratford-upon-Avon. It used to be noted for the large number of pubs which lined its main road, but many of these have long since disappeared. Just after the war (World War 2 !), we used to cycle there from Wilmcote just to buy some of the famous Henley Ice-Cream. To see some more old postcards of the town, follow this link.

Irkutsk, Russian Federation.

This is a fascinating old postcard which shows the main street in Irkutsk, a city in Siberia in the Russian Federation. Although I don't have a date for the card, it appears to be just before or just after the First World War. The large building on the right is the Grand Hotel.
