Rodborough Fort
This photos is taken from the identical vantage point as the AR Quinton postcard (http://www.flickr.com/photos/angust/9963018/) Indeed the similarities are so great it would appear that the painting was based on the photograph.
The postcard is postally unused and is published by B.M & P.

Rodborough Fort
Several postcards I have of Rodborough Fort show what appears to be a May Pole at the bottom of the common.
One example is this postcard postmarked 18 Aug 1915. Th elatest postmark on a post card showing the May Pole is in the 1930s shown below.
Does anyone know when and for how long this May Pole was in place for?

Rodborough Fort
Probably the oldest postcard I have of Rodborough Fort. Although postally unused I estimate this to have been taken around 1890.
Francis Frith have a post card in their collection which is dated as 1890. This is shown below and can be bought from their web site.

Rodborough Fort
Interesting postcard of Rodborough Fort showing the main entrance. It would appear to be taken around 1900 and is I believe a Frith's photograph.
