AJR I have stumbled across a set of postcards entitled the "Castle Hill" series. I've got number 32 - Thetford Castle, and wonder whether anyone has any knowledge of other postcards existing in this series, and if so, how many.
Peter Andrew,
had a quick look through the ones I've listed up to now (about 500 or so), but found I had nothing like that. Which is strange. Is there any more detial, no matter how slight, on the card ?
AJR The front of the card is an old photo of the site, with the words Castle Hill Thetford 32 which were either etched or painted on by hand on the original picture.
The reverse side has only the following :
Post Card in the centre at the top.
Castle Hill
Series underneath in a box.
The wordsCorrespondence and Address Only about one-third of the way down in the centre of the left and right hand sides respectively.
Stamp Here in the top right hand corner.
There really isn't any other detail, and sadly, it is unused, so undated.
I have been in contact with a postcard dealer, who suggested that the postcard series may be named solely after Thetford Castle, it being one of a number of views of the locality.
A Norfolk publisher of local history was unable to help, or provide any alternative suggestions.
I still have one more avenue of inquiry to follow up, but at the moment I'm open to any other suggestions.

Peter Andrew,
just looking through my bits.
Have just one view of Thetford.
Writing is very faint, in white.
On the right it has 'Boughton's Thetford.
But on the left, which I didn't see before, I can just make out .. Old Gateway, the, Castle (something), with a No 14 after ?
Same as yours on the back, but no 'stamp here'
it is b & w unused, a very early card.
