What towns and areas are covered in this Devon postcards collection?
This collection includes postcards from towns and coastal resorts across Devon, including Newton Abbot, Exeter, Torquay and Ilfracombe, along with other Devon locations as stock allows.
Do you have postcards of a specific street or landmark in Exeter?
It depends on what's currently in stock. We add new Devon postcards regularly, so if you don't see the exact view you're after, it's worth checking back or getting in touch to ask.
What's the difference between a postally used and an unused postcard?
A postally used postcard has been sent through the post, so it usually carries a postmark, stamp and handwritten message on the reverse. An unused postcard has none of these and is generally in cleaner condition, though both types are popular with collectors for different reasons.
Are the Torquay and Ilfracombe postcards mostly seaside views?
Yes, the majority show typical seaside scenes such as promenades, piers, beaches and harbour views, reflecting Torquay and Ilfracombe's history as popular Victorian and Edwardian holiday resorts.
How old are the postcards in this collection?
Where a card has a visible postmark, we can date it exactly and this is noted in the listing. For unused or undated cards, we don't state a specific date, though the style and printing usually place them within the vintage postcard era.
Can I buy Devon postcards as a gift or for a specific occasion?
Yes, many customers buy postcards from a particular town as a gift, especially for someone with a connection to that area, such as a family history link or a favourite holiday spot.
Do you sell postcards from other counties as well as Devon?
Yes, we stock postcards from across the UK and further afield, including England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the rest of the world, as well as themed postcards such as animal, comical, military and transport. You can browse these using the Postcards menu above or the filters in the top left.
Will the postcard I receive be the exact one shown in the photos?
Yes, each listing shows the actual postcard you'll receive, along with any postmarks, writing or wear visible on the front and reverse.
Do you have postcards from Newton Abbot's town centre or market?
We do carry Newton Abbot postcards showing the town centre and surrounding area, though availability varies. New stock is added regularly, so do check back if you're after something specific.
How do I look after a vintage postcard once I've bought it?
Keeping it out of direct sunlight and stored flat in an acid-free sleeve or album will help preserve the card's condition and any handwriting or postmark on the reverse.
