This Somersby card above has an extract from "The Brook" by Alfred Lord Tennyson -
By thirty hills I hurry down,
Or slip between the ridges.

And half a hundred bridges.

Sutton-on-Sea, Paddling Pool and Chalets.
The postmark on this card is unreadable but what little remains of the stamp suggests a posting date around 1956 however, the card above posted in 1949 would point to the photograph having been taken in the late 1940s.
This view was taken from the opposite direction to the previous card.

The Gatehouse of Thornton Abbey near Thornton Curtis
A used postcard dated 25 Aug 1911
The fortified gatehouse, said to be amongst the finest surviving in Britain, stood guard over the Abbey and associated buildings and grounds, it was built after the 1381 Peasant's Revolt. The Abbey was founded as an Augustinian Priory in 1139 and went the way of most others in Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. It is now an English Heritage site.
