Over the years I have collected many postcards of Herne, most of which, unfortunately, show the shop on the corner - and, from what I can find out, it only seems to be famous for, well, being the shop on the corner!
At the moment I have not added any of these postcards to this website because of the amount of work still being done on so many other parts of this website, but I will get around to it, sometime.
[Steven Newport I have now added what postcards of Herne Bay I have found so far. Where I can, I have given a little extra detail.]

Herne Bay 123005 No printer or publisher is mentioned, but the 123005 I assume is some form of serial number. The writing on the back (in pencil) is dated 27/7/(19)24, and can be read (rather faint) Here |
