Now, losing a garter and telling the world is a pretty public thing to do.
Just how the sender lost the garter, or what happened afterwards is not included.
All I know is that the card was sent to an address in New Brighton, in the evening of August 2nd, 1917.
And that the sender might have lived in Ancoats.
The card was produced by the Corona Publishing Company of Blackpool, and according to one source produced a mix of Saucy cards with more conventional “view cards”*
Their Blackpool address was 48 Coronation Street, which is one of those roads behind the Tower, and a search revealed that in 2019 this was The Treasure Shop, established in 1943 and selling jewelry.
Location; Manchester
