Description

Birchall's steam-driven grand riding school roundabout. Copied from a postcard dated Portscatho 15 Octob er 1905 and addressed to Mr J Cooke (?), SG Ombra (?), Marvin's Yard, Cowes, Isle of Wight:

"Dear Uncle Jack,
How would you like this outside your home to welcome you. Lewis is doing the grand isn't he? Fancy going yachting, tame after that isn't it? They have loaded 5 boats and I have 5 more to load then they will finish for the day.

I suppose Lady Ann is quite a toff. I can tell you, you will have to buck up or you will look ... the kids are all alive and kicking. Mother is getting stronger and the rest of us all well. Hope you are well.

Yours with love,
Rosa"
