| Keywords: Fred C Palmer 001.jpg Postcard photo of rustic bridge at Beltinge near Herne Bay Kent England where Mickleburgh Hill now meets Reculver Road The bridge was demolished and the pond drained around 1960 and the area is now as of 2010 covered by a 1960s housing estate The pond is now in the grounds of a house called Talmead and screened from the road by a high wall The photographer was Fred C Palmer of Tower Studio Herne Bay Kent who is believed to have died 1936-1939 NB The bridge is sometimes wrongly referred to as Blacksole Bridge although Blacksole Bridge is the nearby railway bridge Border The remaining border of this image is important for researchers of this photographer Some photographers trimmed their images more than others and Palmer has a reputation for producing smaller postcards than other early 20th century UK photographers He took his own photos developed them in-house onto postcard-backed photographic paper and trimmed them himself It is worth adding that during hand-developing the border is actively masked with equipment which both crops the picture and causes the white frame or border to appear on the paper This frame is part of the design and is one of the reasons why the quality of Palmer's work is so interesting and why there is an article and category for him on English Wiki Researchers need to see exactly where the edge of the postcard is Thank you for taking the time to read this Scan of original postcard in my possession 1910-1916 Fred C Palmer died 1936-1939 out of copyright It has been confirmed that File Talmead Pond Geograph jpg is the same site as of June 2010 <br/> See also File Rustic bridge at Beltinge 1913 jpg same site in 1913 PD-old-70-1923 Fred C Palmer of Herne Bay Beltinge Bridges in Kent | ||||
