postcard showing Ward Park from Main Entrance, Bangor, Co. Down; Postmarked Bangor, 26 Sept 1917.
From Jennie, John Adams’ sister, who worked in domestic service in Holywood, Co. Down.
Dear Mother
Just a card to say I hope you are well. How is Jimmie getting along. It has seemed a very short month since we came down here. We go [here/home] on Monday. First there is a lot of Holywood people down here. I expect its well cleared. I hope you are well. Had you any word from J[ohn?] lately. Best love from Jeanie.
This is a very nice park.
I own a similiar postcard to this one … mine is in colour and the man you have here looking down on the scene is next standing beside the person sitting by the pond. My postcard was posted in August 1926 was was addressed to a Miss Margaret Green in Ballymena, Co. Antrim.
Ps … I feel into that pond on many occasions as a child and was lucky to survive from drowning!
nice to see a reference to Holywood Co Down on this very interesting site. Some very moving reads indeed.
