Matthew Auty and Richard Ruddock postcard set (pre 1892)

This is a simply delightful find.
A complete 10 image roll of photographs, still connected by their original linen cloth.
Showing views from Whitley Bay before redevelopment, the original Tynemouth Pier before it was destroyed two years after it was completed, the fishing fleet at North Shields and down to the South Shields.
Produced by the short lived, but very productive business of Auty and Ruddock from 20 Front Street, Tynemouth.
Now part of the Gallery's Permanent Collection.
