Does,t look as though it was "sent" as theres no stamp or franking mark. Probably brought home by someone, probably as a keepsake. The reference to "pottery" is odd. Should this be Pottery Road in Wallgate rather than an area.
it was not sent & the date is early 1918. The flags of the Allies are there. it is fascinating. My husband collects postcards & I can spend hours studying them. one set are from a Frenchman whose son was serving in WW1 to friends of his in England.
Is it possible that it was bought on a visit to the area after WW1?Yes the address would be Pottery Road,as Cudworth Street ran parallel with the River Duggie.
There is a photo of Pottery Street/Road in today's Wigan
Evening Post in the Retronostalgia supplement.
French and Belgian ladies used to embroider these silk postcards and sell them to the Tommies.
