This Postcard

This postcard is one of Valentine's 'Bromotone' series.  The number on the card indicates that the photograph was taken in 1930.

The postcard was posted on July 8, 1933, with the message:

"The weather is grand."

This View

Even enlarging the original postcards, I have not been able to read the names of these two small boats, or the lettering on what appears to be a notice on the sand.

Here is a photo, taken some years later, of 'The Skylark' at a longer landing at Portobello.
