Views of Ryburgh
Great Ryburgh is not without its fair share of commercial postcards. This page has been started to try and collect as complete an online archive of Ryburgh postcards as possible. If you have one that is not included and would be willing to share it on the site please get in touch.If you are able to help with more accurate dating, we'd love to hear from you.
In addition to my own collection many of these images have been supplied by a number of people including the late May Hall, John Hazel, David Howe, also Jenni Holmes, Keith and Shirley Howell, Stanley Judd, Richard of the Norfolk Pubs website and others to whom very many thanks. The latest views at the end of the page have kindly been copied for me by Mr Gerald Lamont of Fakenham for which I am very grateful. I always believed that the 1914 view of the church interior facing West No 64 below published by Jarrolds ought to have views from the other points of the compass and Gerald has proved me correct with a view facing East. No 95. Roll on N & S!
As of September 2022 I have donated my collection to the archive of Picture Norfolk, considerably boosting their holding of Ryburgh cards! Upon my visit to the Archive, I found one new view of Little Ryburgh "New Churchyard" No 104 now making the sum total of 2 for our more modest neighbour. There must still be more to come to light so I am still collecting!
Over the course of time, it is hoped to give a little more of the history of some of the cards from the message and other details on the reverse. These will have a blue numbering to create a link to the page:
