This postcard captures a moment of soft, subdued beauty in the Lancashire countryside, where Pendle Hill rises gently in the distance, its slopes shrouded in winter haze. In the foreground, hardy sheep graze peacefully beneath bare-branched trees, evoking a deep sense of stillness and agricultural continuity. The composition is perfectly balanced — a timeless glimpse of English pastoral life.

Photographed by Kenneth Oldham, this image was produced as part of the “Country Cameos” series, known for its understated charm and local authenticity. The card is dated 2 October 2001 and was posted from Lancashire. Published under sole licence to G.M. & J. Gorrighan and printed by Larkfield Postcards of Brighouse, it reflects a transitional era in British rural ephemera, bridging 20th-century format with early 21st-century nostalgia.

Though light wear is noted, this postcard remains an evocative keepsake for those who cherish Pendle’s folkloric associations, the quiet poetry of farmland, or the atmospheric realism of British landscape photography. A gentle reminder of place, memory, and belonging.
