	Do you have any old postcards, or the like, of Gawsworth that you would be willing to let us borrow for scanning into our computer? If yes, then please contact the Clerk. Please be assured that they will be well looked after whilst in our care. Alternatively please email any pertinent electronic images directly to the Clerk. We are seeking any general yesteryear views of Gawsworth but in particular views from around the Gawsworth crossroads area. * The postcard to the left on the second row, post-marked 15th December 1910, contains the following text on its reverse ... "This is part of our village. Pass this way every morning to work. The second house on the right is the School house & School. Farther along is the Post office. I turn to the right to go to town. Where the railings are is the cross or supposed to be where people used to preach before Churches were built" .
