Artistic Antique Postcard Freeman Street Grimsby England

Freeman Street in Grimsby was historically a bustling area known for its diverse range of shops and businesses. The presence of the Methodist church with its distinctive spire is a notable landmark along this street. Grimsby itself is a town with a rich maritime heritage, being one of the world's largest fishing ports during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The street scene depicted captures not only the architectural elements of the period but also provides insight into the transportation of the time, with horse-drawn carriages and early tramlines visible. Such postcards were popular in the early 20th century, providing a glimpse into everyday life and serving as mementos for visitors and residents alike.

The images in this listing are scanned images. The physical postcard is higher resolution. Please note that the scanning process can introduce slight variations in colour and brightness compared to the original postcard.

There may be edge wear consistent with age that is not visible in the listing images due to automatic cropping during scanning - this may include subtle tears or creases. We offer an unconditional 30-day return policy on all our postcards to ensure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase. If not, your payment will be refunded.

PLEASE REFER TO THE IMAGES FOR A DETAILED, DEFINITIVE VIEW OF CONDITION BEFORE PURCHASE: Most of our postcards are in very good condition. On occasion, we do list cards in poor condition if they're exceptionally rare or, in our opinion, historically significant. The images in our listings are unenhanced scans of the originals and thus provide the definitive view of condition. Please review them carefully before buying, rather than relying solely on this written description. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message.

RPPC STATUS: Where a postcard is described as an RPPC (Real Photo Postcard), this designation is based either on an explicit printed statement confirming the RPPC status on the reverse of the card or on a careful assessment of its characteristics. In the absence of a printed declaration, we base our judgment on factors such as the image quality under magnification, the paper type, known information about the publisher, and other relevant indicators. While we take great care in making these assessments, it is not an exact science, and we encourage buyers to use their best judgement by carefully studying the images and/or contacting us with any follow-up questions. Ultimately, where RPPC status is not explicitly stated on the back of the postcard, we cannot guarantee its RPPC status.

For international shipping: Shipping is charged per item. Orders, including where more than one item is purchased at checkout, with an item total over £20 are automatically upgraded to tracked shipping at no extra cost. If you choose the Global Shipping Program (GSP), all customs fees or duties applicable in your country are included. Please note that eBay sets and controls all international postage pricing for the GSP. I do not set these shipping prices, I do not receive any portion of the postal payment for GSP shipments, and I am not notified of how much you are charged.

If you choose a shipping option other than the Global Shipping Program, you are responsible for any customs fees or import duties applicable in your country.
