OUR FUNDRAISING
JUST FOR FUN
CONTACT + FEEDBACK
Take a look at our 2015 Pinner Calendar.
Postcard + Photo Information
The 12 detachable postcards on our 2014 Limited Edition Pinner Calendar have been reproduced from original postcards
dating back as far as 1902. Some of the scenes you will recognise in today's Pinner; some are far less familiar.
Below you will find each month's picture from the 2014 calendar together with the description also included on the back
of the postcard together with a photograph of the scene in 2013 taken from a similar view point. Have fun looking back.
