About this postcard

An elevated view from Cromwell Heights over Lancaster, with the castle and priory church on the hill above tight rows of rooftops, mills, and terraced streets. A stone bridge crosses the River Lune in the foreground among bare trees. The castle and priory are the town's medieval landmarks, while the mills and terraces below reflect Lancaster's 19th-century growth as a port and manufacturing town.
