Laindon Postcards

Francis Frith

The Francis Frith collection for Laindon is believed to total around 35 cards. Two cards, LDN 23 and 24 show views in the High Road at Langdon Hills, these being Primrose Lodge and the former Langdon Hills Primary School.

Sepia tone appears to be the dominant finish though they did issue examples in black and white with a white border.
