Title: Clyde postcards
Post by: Sandy on November 20, 2010, 04:36:17 AM

Hi,

Visiting my mum today she handed me a bunch photographs and a zip lock packet containing six postcards by Nicolson of Largs - 'Clyde Steamer Series 1'.

I scanned them in (not too good a scanner unfortunately) and here they are.

Caledonia approaching Largs, 8th June, 1963.
