Over on X the best guess is that it might be the Boston international postcard exchange but no hard evidence of its actual existence yet!

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anything like it. Definitely several possibilities here, could even be unrelated to postcards or the university. A lot of UK advertising postcards have an image unconnected with the businessπŸ€”

I agree. A bit of a strange mix, apart from the belt nobody else seems to have any uniform. Quite a range of ages too and why is the bloke on the right holding what appears to be a a towelπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

Today’s mystery #postcard has a military feel. The general consensus seems to be that the medals and belt probably relate to the Boer War, but what are these chaps up to? Something is written on the armbands that I can’t quite read.

I’ve searched the database of sundials but no matches in Suffolk. Its pretty exhaustive so I’m wondering if this is a random card with no local connectionπŸ€”

Pretty certain that will be her! I had a pile of cards from this family but she wasn’t mentioned on any of the others unfortunately.

Well here is the so far unsolved challenge for mystery postcard Monday. We think the postmark is Stutton, 17 miles from Woodbridge. Strange architecture and a wall sundial. Is the conservatory actually a WW1 auxiliary hospital ward, experts say it’s similarπŸ€”

Happy Easter! I cant believe you managed to locate this one, so many people tried and I spent hours trawling on the image searchπŸ™„ Thank you so much!

Still confounding the #postcard detectives this meeting room and billiard hall. Temperance hall is ruled out via the adverts for Bass beers. Northern industrial town vibes but can anyone identify the location?

Currently foxing the #postcard detectives over on X, is anyone familiar with this distinctive church? The castellated tower is unusual in its simplicity, as ever no clues on the back.

Mystery #postcard Monday Bluesky edition. Some clues today but are they enough to nail the location? Someone has scribbled Kent on the back, is there any truth in this I wonder? A more difficult challenge awaits over on X for anyone who fancies it!

Instinct is everything with these images, even without a clue sometimes they just just have to be in a particular spot.

I solved a few yesterday using that technique but still have a pile for future challenges!

Wow, certainly looks like it! Thought this might be tough as so many similar towers, I looked a a few hundred and couldn’t find it!

We like to keep you on your toes here at the postcard emporium. My mystery card on X was solved in 5 minutes, so no pressure!

Mystery #postcard Monday arrives on Bluesky. A typical village scene but can anyone identify this location. The tower is likely the best clue with a large clock squeezed in. Was it meant for elsewhere and they got a discount?
