'View from the pier, Penarth' - The Edwardian postcard from the Pictorial range, date unknown, since it is unposted. I think it probably dates from the early years of the 20th century. Another fine period view saved for posterity held in my Penarth Dock Collection. [001]

'Penarth Pier - Cardiff' - Another unposted card from publishers Stewart & Woolf, London but printed in Saxony. an area of Germany with Dresden and Leipzig as its main cities. That would date the postcard prior to the hostilities of WWI i.e. pre-1914 so again I would say that the view dates from the early years of the century. The lack of litter-louts and fishermen makes for a pleasant stroll! The lower image has been colourised. [001]
