• Notes & Key words: 

John Hinde was an English photographer who set up John Hinde Ltd in Dublin, Ireland in the early 1960s. He produced most of the earlier cards himself before employing other photogaphers such as E.Nägele, E. Ludwig, D. Noble and other names who spent a long time getting just the right view, usually with people in the foreground. The prints were then artistically hand processed and manipulated in Italy (long before digital production) before being published. His company was also closely associated with Butlins and they produced many of their cards. The company’s cards have become popular with collectors in recent years due to exhibitions and being featured in books, particularly by photographer and postcard collector Martin Parr. They were influential in the development of commercial photography and postcard images and now are regarded as miniature works of art and social records in themselves, particularly those of the 1960s and 1970s.

*************

Falmouth (Cornish: Aberfal) is a town, civil parish and port on the River Fal on the south coast of Cornwall, United Kingdom. It has a total resident population of 21,635.^[1]

The name Falmouth comes from the river Fal but the origin of the river's name is unknown. Falmouth is the terminus of the A39, which begins some 200 miles away in Bath, Somerset.

Falmouth is famous for its harbour. Together with Carrick Roads, it forms the third deepest natural harbour in the world, and the deepest in Western Europe.^[2] It is also famous for being the start or finish point of various round-the-world record-breaking voyages, such as those of Sir Francis Chichester and Dame Ellen MacArthur.
