| Description |
Postcard. Postally used. Stamp missing. London Life Series. Published by G. D. & D. L. Printed in Germany. A surprise in the post from <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/goodsir">Penny (Neato1)</a>, found in Wellington, New Zealand. Sent to Mrs. W. York, Coney Hill Road, Allandale, Dunedin. The message reads: "1/3/09. Dear Nellie, We arrived safe on Saturday night. Leslie is all right. He seems to be much better & is eating well. I am glad that the milk & cream agrees with him all right. I will let you have a line this end of the week again. I hope Bill's cold and better & that Willie and Vivi are better & yourself well. With love from Mary." The postcard shows the Bristowe Memorial Drinking Fountain, Brockwell Park, Herne Hill. Unveiled 1893 (demolished 1950s). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%c3%a9on-Joseph_Chavalliaud" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Léon-Joseph Chavalliaud</a>, sculptor. "... the drinking water fountain that stood at the main entrance. At the top of the fountain is the bust of Thomas Lynn Bristowe, first MP for Norwood and a wealthy stockbroker, who was primarily responsible for the acquisition of the Park for the people of London. Unfortunately he died on the steps of Brockwell Hall on 6th June 1892, the day the park was opened by Lord Rosebury. Below the bust the statue of Perseverence is seen holding up a laurel wreath. Below the main drinking fountain was a second one for dogs. The entire structure was dismantled by Lambeth Borough Council in the early 1950s." - <a href="http://landmark.lambeth.gov.uk/display_page.asp?section=landmark&id=5075" rel="noreferrer nofollow">landmark.lambeth.gov.uk/display_page.asp?section=landmark...</a> |
