The postcard has a King Edward VII stamp on it
A postcard has been delivered to a building society in Wales an astonishing 121 years after it was sent. Staff at Swansea Building Society got a surprise when they checked the mail at their head office on the morning of Friday, August 16.
Henry Darby, marketing and communications officer at Swansea Building Society, said: "It turned up completely out of the blue on Friday. The postman came to the door as normal with lots of letters regarding mortgages and savings and stuff for our team to process. As one of the managers was going through it, a postcard dropped onto the table, not in an envelope, not with a note, just as it was." For the latest Swansea news, sign up to our newsletter here.
The front of the postcard depicts a drawing of a wintry scene with a stag in the foreground straddling a frozen tree stump, with a body of water and snowy mountains beyond, all beneath a starry sky. A boat of some kind appears to be travelling across the water and the caption at the bottom left says simply, 'The Challenge'.
The bank has put an appeal out on social media asking for anyone with information on Ms Davies, or anything else to help shed light on the mystery, to come forward and get in touch via their social media page by clicking here.
