East Sussex - Eastbourne - The Queensborough Private Hotel Prior to 1926

            The Postcard

A postally unused postcard bearing no publisher's name. The image is a glossy real photograph.

Although the card was not posted, someone has used a pencil to write the following across the divided back.

"Keep This Card.
August 1926.
To: Stewart Tully,
The Laurels,
Nr. Mold,
Flintshire.
Uncle John was kind
enough to send me £30
as you wouldn't go now,
in all I've had £75.
Next year I'll see Uncle
Jim gives me my money.
These bills must be paid
at once.
Love Peggy".

The Queensborough Hotel

An annual meeting of the British Medical Association took place in Eastbourne from the 17th. July 1931 to the 25th. July. In the British Medical Journal they advised their members that one of the hotels they could book was the Queensborough at 54 and 55 Grand Parade Eastbourne. 

The BMA noted that the cost was 17 shillings and 6 pence per day, and 5½ guineas per week.
