Possibly of interest to any Halstead researchers...

"Not a postcard but an extremely rare Briercliffe Infant Board School good attendance card presented to Lizzie Halstead on November 4th 1901. It measures 6 inch x 7 inch. Condition as per scan, obviously not mint but very acceptable for an item over 100 years old. Ideal for local research."
