EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print titled "On His Last Delivery, 12th November 1959" we witness a significant moment in the life of Postman Frederick Smith from Essex Road, Longfield, Kent. After an impressive career spanning 31 years and reaching the age of 60, Frederick is captured making his final delivery before retiring. The photograph showcases Frederick's dedication to his job as he stands proudly with a postal sack slung over his shoulder. Dressed in his uniform and wearing glasses that speak of wisdom acquired through years of service, he exudes both professionalism and warmth. However, it is not just any ordinary delivery for Frederick; it takes place in Hartley - a village where he has spent most of his time delivering mail. The people of Hartley hold a special place in their hearts for him and will undoubtedly miss him dearly. As he walks along the familiar streets one last time, letters and parcels clutched firmly in hand, there is an air of nostalgia surrounding this bittersweet farewell. This print captures not only the end of an era but also serves as a tribute to Postman Frederick Smith's unwavering commitment to serving his community throughout the years. It immortalizes a man who dedicated himself to connecting people through written correspondence while leaving behind countless memories cherished by those fortunate enough to have crossed paths with him during his remarkable career.
