Margaret Pierce has been
collecting Postcards of Letchworth Garden City since she was a child, having
come to live here from the Midlands in 1957.
She left in 1973 when she married, but returned to live here in 1999. Seeing the way the town had and was changing, she decided to produce a book, using her own extensive collection of postcards, to document those changes. The Garden City has been well recorded on picture postcards over the last 100 years and they clearly show how the First Garden City has developed. Packed with beautifully reproduced, mono pictures (each with notes), most of which have not been included in previous collections, Margaret has produced another fascinating collection that takes the reader from the very first days right up to date. The book is available online HERE and at several local bookshops, and by mail from: Yesterdays World Publications
