Taunton

An  old multi-view picture postcard with images of the Parade, St. Mary's Church, Vivary Park, North Street, and King's College, Taunton, superimposed on an outline map of South West England. The original postcard was mailed to an address in Salisbury during the First World War and makes up part of our Taunton collection, some of which is displayed online here.

This website features a growing number of electronic scans of our private collection of old photographs and vintage picture postcards of the town of Taunton, Somerset, in the west of England.

Do contact me if you have a question on the market town of Taunton or share my interest in the history of this part of West Somerset. The site also includes a section with up-to-date contemporary photographs taken on my wanders around Taunton; a selection of old postcards of the other Taunton, in Massachusetts, USA; and a completely free Taunton email address for anyone who wants one.
