Dunstable Yesteryear - A vanished factory

Dunstable Yesteryear - A vanished factory

The Cross paperware factory was still a fairly new addition to a quiet area of High Street South, Dunstable, when this postcard was posted in August 1914. That was one month after the outbreak of the First World War and the card was sent to “My Dear Mother” in Chipping Norton by a lad (unsigned) who was probably a soldier. He wrote that “we are getting on alright, having the time of my life – marching”!
