Back with the artist Derrick A Lea in Chorlton in 1957

Now I never have been over keen on those postcards which present a number of views all on one card.

But I rather like Derrick A Lea’s card.

He was a artist who drew pictures of the area in the 50s.  and like J. Montgomery Mr Lea is a bit of a mystery.

I know a little about him including where he lived in Chorlton and that some of his pictures were turned into greetings cards and that is about it.
This card is a compilation of some of his work and is dated 1957.

  1. Especially like the Horse and Jockey drawing - it epitomises the 1950s type of advertising, which always seemed to be drawn, rather than photographs.
