What are topographical postcards?
Topographical postcards show real places, such as towns, villages, streets, buildings and landmarks. They’re popular for local history and for collecting specific places.
Are the Yorkshire postcards genuine and original?
Yes. The postcards in this collection are original old and vintage cards, and each listing is for the exact postcard shown in the photos.
What places are included in your Yorkshire postcards collection?
This collection covers towns and villages across Yorkshire, including Leeds, Harrogate and Bridlington. Stock changes regularly, so it’s worth checking back if you don’t see a particular place.
Are the postcards used or unused?
You’ll find a mix. Some cards are postally used, with stamps, postmarks or messages, and others are unused. Each listing shows the front and back so you can see the exact condition.
How do I check the condition of a postcard?
Look for corner wear, creases, surface marks and any writing on the back. The listing photos are the best guide, and we note anything significant in the description where needed.
How can I date an old postcard?
A postmark date is the easiest clue on used cards. For unused cards, dating is usually based on the style, publisher and the image itself, so it can be approximate.
Are old Yorkshire postcards worth anything?
Many are, but value varies. Condition, rarity of the view, demand for a specific place, and factors like publisher or postmarks can all make a difference.
