Old Postcard of Stoke - Statue of Fair Flora (c1930s)

This photograph was taken possibly in the 1930s after surrounding trees were cut. The encroaching woodland doesn't allow such a clear view over the village today. The lady on the photograph is my mother - Ada ("Mollie") Reeves, born 30 April 1905 at Goatscliffe, Grindleford.

An account of the “legend” of Fair Flora is available on a separate web page.

This is one of the postcards in ‘The Reeves Collection’.
In other words, it belonged to my mother.
