HISTORY OF ILFORD

This picture shows Ilford High Road just before the introduction of trams. Before motorised transport there would usually be manure on roads left by horses pulling carts and waggons. Up until 1902 only the recipient's address could be written on the back of a postcard so senders often included a short message on the front. In 1903 the Post Office changed the rules to allow messages on the back of postcards.
