At the Flea fair today I bought a small bundle of addressed empty envelopes. If anyone is interested they can have them. They are addressed to
Mrs Sarah E Clayton
R D Clayton Esquire
Miss Hannah Clayton
Between 1913 and 1925 Yorkshire and Durham

One of Hannah Clayton's comes from France.

Pity there is nothing in the envelopes.

I intend to also put this on Tips.

I thought it strange that they were kept too, and all one family possibly parents and daughter. One is a registered envelope, one a long white envelope and two small letter envelopes. All four only cost £1 so i am not bothered, if nothing else they can go in my stamp collection/First day cover collection.

I think the Clayton family reclaimed Pagham Harbour.
