Postcard Dating Back 121 Years Finally Gets Delivered to the Property

In the News

We all know the royal mail can be a bit slow delivering post

But this delivery was more than a bit late, 121 years too late

It was posted on August 3, 1903 and arrived at Swansea Building Society on august 16th 2024, they are the present occupiers of the property

The intended recipient is long gone now , but there is an appeal out for anyone that might have known the person as distant relatives

One consolation, the stamp could be worth something and the postcard could also be collectable, it looks like a reindeer in a snow scene

As for the message on the card , it might as well have been sent in a bottle by sea, it would have arrived faster

Hmm, that reminds me of a song 🤔

Wow that's cool though I'm surprised they haven't given it to the local museum or tried to find relatives of the family

I wonder where it's been all that time. Probably slipped down behind a sorting bench or some such and only discovered when the office was updated. I am surprised someone didn't hang on to it for posterity!
