This Ballymena Postcard was sent in 1924 and has been generously shared with Ballymena Today by reader Pamela from Ballyclare. Pamela picked this up at a Vintage Postcard Fair and we think that it is lovely! Ballymena postcard from 1924 – Throwback Thursday The card was sent to Miss M. Buntun of Hartwell Street in Belfast and featured a stamp that cost a penny and features King George.
