Publisher's Synopsis
"From North Berwick with love" tells the then and now story of North Berwick - East Lothian's popular seaside town - through postcards sent by its visitors and holidaymakers over more than 100 years. Picture postcards have captured, as individual time capsules, every essence of a place, its beaches, streets, people and activities. On one side there's a picture, or more than one, capturing the scene as it was; on the other there's personal space for a message to convey excitement, participation, anticipation or just to confirm you're boring/bored or feel the need to bore someone else (usually a relative). Postcards were the social media of the day but with one big difference - the original card and its message is still around years later to appear forever in "From North Berwick with love". The book also contains lots of lovely recent photographs in and around North Berwick so you can enjoy the now with the then. We hope to see you soon in the "Biarritz of the North" with its limited mobile phone data services and where shops still sell postcards!
