Hi Sean,That’s interesting. Would you be able to send us a copy of the reverse of the post card with the writing on?
Many thanks

I have a postcard bearing the same drawing of the hotel kept by late father until his passing in 2020.
His version was used by the “Manageress” in 1952 to confirm a reservation he had made by letter.
The Postcard was produced by Photocrom Co. Ltd of Tunbridge Wells.
