I got a new old Salisbury postcard. Interesting bits are:

  • the people queuing up for a bus, presumably not knowing that they are going to be stars of both postcard and micro.blog

  • the designation of the Blue Boar Row as the A30 - before the ring road all the a-roads used to wend their way through town

  • Sidney Herbert’s statue is still behind the War Memorial. From memory, it was moved to Victoria Park in 1953, to make room for celebrations for the Coronation

I like the informality of this postcard - it feels like a snap as much as a professional photo

A historic building in Salisbury, labeled as the Guildhall, is depicted with people gathered and trees in the surroundings.
