Dave moved into the village from Basildon around 1974.
In the process of tracing his family history he noticed that there were several postcards for sale on Ebay about Hullbridge and thought how nice it would be to start a collection.
Todate he has amassed over 90 postcards starting c1917 to 2007. Dave's collection is truly wonderful !

The images are just thumbnails of the main picture which can be accessed by simply left clicking on the relevant image.
