Marl Convalescent Home Nr Llandudno

View up the driveway to the Marle Hall (spelling 'Marl' on this postcard) Convalescent Home for Women, run by the Birminham Hospitals Saturday Fund. The Birmingham Hospital Saturday Fund was set up in 1873 as a charity to fund Birmingham Hospitals, based first on donation, then on regular subscriptions. The home in Llandudno was donated in 1892 by Birmingham sisters Henrietta and Sarah Stokes. The organisation still exists today as an insurance scheme, still governed by its ethical business roots. Not postmarked or stamped. Published by the Pictorial Stationery Co Ltd, London, as a "Platino Photo" Postcard. The reverse of the card is stamped with a peacock emblem, with the words 'Peacock Brand.'
