I have quite a few 'Band of Hope' views. Not altered in any way. I'll try to find them.
Suggested to Mark that we alter the Post title as some may wish to add old licences etc to the site. If fact anything that may be of interest to others.

the hooks intentionally useless - no point, no means of attaching them to a line, made from untempered wire "for instant easy return of fish"...

I always wondered where the "safety hooks" supplied with the "Bell's Junior Angler" sets (stocked by all good newsagents in the early 1960s) came from!

mmm, strange how my post title has changed it's title.

Sorry Hermes, that was my doing.

I see I share the same postcard - A bond of hope. Has it just been scanned in B&W or is it colour, the same as mine?

And as an apology here are some more postcards courtesy of Mike Wilson, hope you like them. :thumb:

More postcards courtesy of Mike Wilson, thank you again Mike.

Again courtesy of Mike Wilson, do any of you Oxfordshire chaps recognise any of these places.
