Mr Grinsted of Bury Stores

This John White card, posted from Pulborough to Miss H. Sully in Essex on February 5th 1909, shows the Bury Stores owner, Philip Grinsted, leaning on a fence admiring the view of the Downs from the village. The sender may have worked in the shop, as she mentions "very quiet trade" and that "you would not like to be a shopgirl".
