Guildford Railway Station circa 1920
This has to be one of the nicest cards that I have ever purchased. This card dates from 1920, but the moment I saw the picture I recognised the railway station. It didn't look all that different from when I grew up in the 1970s.
The used to be taxi cabs aligning the street on the left hand side and one of the buildings on the left was the shop of a stamp dealer, where I spent many hours selecting and adding to my childhood collection.

Colbrook's ice factory was part of the selection of businesses owned by the family. The family moved from Sussex to the Guildford area where they opened a butchers shop in the High Street. By the late 1860s they had opened a butchers shop in North Street and an ice factory. By about 1930 a further ice factory was owned and located in Walnut Tree Close.
