Post cards from the past

There have been lots of postcards of the hotel over the years and this is one of the earliest. Its interesting to see that the hills back then had far fewer trees, giving a much more defined outline.
Infact the name ‘Malvern’ is derived from the Celtic term for ‘bare hill’

You can clearly see the quarry next door and the gate house where the famous singer Jenny Lind once stayed.

There is no date on the card but judging by the level of development we can see that its from the turn of the century.

We have some nice framed examples of old British Camp postcards in the Vue restaurant. Also if your really interested you can ask at reception and i'll show you our full collection of over 60 different postcards from all periods of the hotels history.


We still sell postcards of the hotel today although I don't think they are as interesting as these old shots, I may get some reprinted if there's a market.
