Historic Norwich Postcards
Norwich History … It Never Gets Old
Many readers find historic Norwich photos and postcards interesting. IconicNorwich.org has added a new category, “Norwich Historic Postcards,” where readers can easily view and find many old postcards. More than 100 postcards are currently available here; however, many more will be added as they become available.
A table that allows you to search the IconicNorwich.org database of historic Norwich postcards is provided on the first page of the Postcards category page. If a postcard was mailed and stamped with a legible postmark, the table includes the postmark date.
A couple of the postcards are shown here as examples.
