Welcome to the second instalment of the 1930s Churchman’s Cigarette Cards, ‘The Legends Of Britain’*. Card number 2 features ‘The Legend Of Dozmary Pool’, a tale of a bottomless pool on Bodmin Moor and I’ll be looking at the themes of bottomless pools, evil deeds and impossible tasks in stories for this month’s legend.

*Note: I am not promoting smoking in any way and neither am I being sponsored for these posts. I am simply sharing the joy of these wondrous little cards from the 1930s.
