Below are a number of photographs produced as postcards by Claud Hider from 1922 onwards. They are very scarce and as more come to light they will be added.

Ken Farmer kindly downloaded an imager from his collection of a composite postcard of views of Puncknoll. This can be dated to 1922. For one year Claud Hider teamed up with Lawrence of Crewkerne to produce a rare series of postcards which have the initials of H & L in the bottom right hand corner. The following year in 1923, Claud opened his own Photographic Studio in South Street. To produce this Souvenir of Puncknoll he obviously reused the earlier plates. I have enlarged the various views below and hope in due course to find copies of the originals.
