The Corridor, Conishead Priory Hydropathic

View of the interior of the corridor at Conishead Priory Hydropathic. Conishead Priory was converted into a hydropathic hotel in 1878, after the country residence had been purchased by a Scottish consortium. The hotel boasted salt baths, pleasure boating, lawn tennis and even its own branch rail line coming from nearby Ulverston. It subsequently became a convalescent home for miners when it was purchased by the Durham Miners Welfare Committee in 1928, and then a military hospital during the Second World War. The postcard is published by Valentine, and is postmarked (Ulverston) and stamped. Message on reverse (ink) reads: 'I hope you are well again. I intended coming over on Weds but company came in so I could not do so. Thought you might like a postcard to add to your collection. Yrs Agnes G.'
