8th November 1905

This image of Doncaster’s Corn Exchange is taken from a Vintage Postcard in my collection. The only thing written on the card is a single date – November 8th 1905. That was the day Alfred Buchi was granted a patent for his invention of a turbocharger, the day London was beset by a thick fog, and William R Hearst lost the race for Mayor of New York. And the day someone bought a postcard of Doncaster’s Corn Exchange.
