Buckinghamshire Postcards: Aylesbury and Stowe

Buckinghamshire postcards for sale are centred on Aylesbury, the county town that gave its name to the Aylesbury duck, a breed raised for its meat and prized white feathers since the 18th century; before the railway arrived in 1839, breeders walked flocks of ducks the 40 miles to London to sell. Postcards of the town sit alongside views of Stowe, where the Temple family laid out one of England's great landscape gardens from 1718 onwards, filling 300 acres with lakes, temples and sculpture.

Hughenden Manor postcards picture the home of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli, who bought the house in 1848 and remodelled it into the Victorian retreat that stands today. Bletchley Park postcards reflect a very different chapter: during the Second World War, codebreakers there including Alan Turing worked to crack the German Enigma cipher, in an effort credited with shortening the war by up to four years.

Postcards of other Buckinghamshire towns and villages appear on this page as well, and new stock is added whenever we find it.

FAQs

Why is Aylesbury linked with ducks?

Aylesbury became known for breeding white ducks from the 18th century, originally valued for their feathers as well as their meat, and duck rearing grew into a major local industry during the 19th century.

What happened at Bletchley Park?

How can I date a Buckinghamshire postcard?

Start with the postmark if the card has been posted. If it's unused, the publisher name, printing style and details like the stamp box design can help narrow down the era.

What condition are the postcards in?

We photograph each postcard closely so you can see its actual condition before you buy. Due to their age, some general wear is normal, such as light creasing or corner wear, and condition varies from postcard to postcard.
