At the turn of the twentieth century the simple postcard became the go-to means of communication for thousands of Victorians and Edwardians, sharing their greetings, their stories and their gossip. The equivalent of the modern-day ‘status update’, the postcards in this collection reveal the ordinary lives of the people of Yeovil, from tourists to locals. While many of the sights of the town remain the same, each postcard is a unique snapshot of a place and time. From an extensive collection of postcards spanning over 100 years, Yeovil: The Postcard Collection is the story of this Somerset market town and its people.
Local historian Bob Osborn is the author of several books on an eclectic range of subjects from Carved Medieval Bench Ends of South Somerset to Italian Futurist Art. After a career in architecture, admin management, web design and management and, latterly, as a Learning Centre Manager and Yeovil College Lecturer teaching IT, he is now retired. Since retiring, he works almost daily researching and compiling his ever-growing website 'The A-to-Z of Yeovil’s History' which currently has over 2,200 pages.
