Postcards are beautiful snippets of social history, these colour enhanced images by John Hinde are some of my favourites.

The Smell of Water 
I love John Hinde imagery; a very important part of British post-war culture.
I think I still have a Mass Observation book from the early 1950s called “Exmoor Village” which is full of John Hinde photos (in B&W) of disappearing rural pursuits. The fact that they’re intended as a record of human activity rather than an act of expression makes them much more interesting, as is usually the case.
I worked at Butlins Filey in the 1960’s. I lasted a week before escaping to work at Bass Charrington on Cargo Fleet Lane. I felt as if I’d got out Stalag Luft. ATB, John
