Lincolnshire Postcards, Pictures and Photographers

Tuesday, 18th November 2025 7:30pm by Chris Hewis

This lecture will be held in Louth Methodist Church, Nichol Hill.

Chris Hewis is Chair of Saxilby and District History Group and the Treasurer of the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology. He has written several books and articles on local history and was a regular member of BBC Radio Lincolnshire’s ‘Lunch Bunch’.

With images from Saxilby History Group’s ‘John Wilson Collection’, Chris will introduce us to the “Golden Age of Postcards”, a period between 1905 and 1915 when postcards became incredibly popular as a means of communication and art, and a few early Lincolnshire photographers who took advantage of the craze.

The lectures will be held either in the Methodist Church in Nichol Hill, LN11 9NQ, or online using Zoom. Visitors or members may request a Zoom link by emailing start.david@btinternet.com.
