    Torpoint-Ferry-5
  • DATE SOLD: October 2007 - Ebay
  • SELLER'S DESCRIPTION: Good transport/topographical card, it shows the ferry landing at the Torpoint side, having come from Devonport. There are male and female passengers, some of the males look like they are in soldiers uniform so I would estimate it to be around the 1914-18 period. There is also a horse with a loaded cart. The publisher is J.Welch & Sons of Portsmouth. Postally un-used. A nice card in good condition. There is a slight crease in the far left hand side bottom corner but it does not affect the actual picture, just the border.
