Post subject:  A Lancashire Township

I think I may have located a copy of a Lancashire Township.
The listing on the website gives the author as Mark Frost and not Roger Frost as it should be but I am sure it is the same book. I would email the seller before making the purchase just to be sure. Of course, it may be an old listing and no longer for sale but it’s worth a try!

No bids as yet. Bet they all come on the last day.

That surprises me! It has only been on for a couple of days though so there is time yet.
I don't think it is worth £35. I only paid £45 for mine and it looks to be a much better copy.

Utterly amazed, this ends tomorrow and still no bids. Maybe I was right about it being over priced.

There is a nice tram/Harle Syke picture on ebay at the moment but bidding starts at £14.99. Far too pricey for a postcard.

The Briercliffe Society would be interested in the postcard if they haven't already got it.

I'm sure they would, I think John Bentley pops onto ebay occasionally. Roger doesn't use a computer so he won't see it. He is the postcard buyer. It is pricey though, not sure if Roger has a copy of this or not...I have not seen the whole collection. Roger visits a lot of fairs for this type of thing.

I have looked on e-bay but cannot see it----what is the full web address for it? Is it one of those with an "a" then number , think Roger said they go up to a44.

It isn't an 'A' card.

Never seen that one before. It is outside the Tintab and Commercial Pub. The row to the right going away from us is the Cop Row.

I thought that was the Tintab.

The book didn't sell. I wonder if he/she will re-list it at a lower price?
