This postcard was posted on November 23rd 1909. I shows Terrace Gardens in the snow (Please see recent shot of the same area). I assume the four men in the foreground are either grounds men or street sweepers, clearing the paths.

When I find these old postcards I love it if they have a message on the back, this one I needed help deciphering.

‘Wollen comms’ or ‘combinations’ were Edwardian underwear, comprising of bloomers and a camisole top. Anna is asking her sister to send some warm underwear!
