The Beach at Bardsea

How to take a perfectly pleasant scene and make it boring - I give you the Beach at Bardsea

Station Road Cuffley





To be fair, this postcard wouldn't look quite so bad if it was in colour. This would have been a picturesque scene framed by trees all along but as it is, it's drab and dull.

Essentially, this is a postcard from a road junction - wish you were here?

An alternative view of Devon


This is one of the postcards in my collection that starts a debate as to what can be classed as boring.

On the face of it, it's quite a pleasant scene, framed by a dry stone wall at the bottom with rolling fields and a warm, summer sky.

The building in question however is Dartmoor Prison - I leave it to the reader to imagine an occasion where you would actually send this card.

Queens Road Roundabout Hertford

Thanks to all my readers from my previous blog who have moved over. ( http://boring-postcards.blogspot.co.uk/ ) - I apologise for any repetition on here but I wanted a platform where I could showcase the pictures better.

So you will see some old classics resurrected - such as this one- but there will be plenty of new material to come!

Russian Coastline

Apparently, Russia is a good source of dull cards and this means that resources from the World's largest country are currently untapped - by me at least.

This is the only one in my collection so far - the reverse is in Russian of course and I can tell that it mentions the sea but I can actually pin down where this is.

It's a great addition to the collection nevertheless.
