This card, posted in Sheffield, is an unusual one in the collection as it seems to be from Annie and Winnie Barber rather than one they have received. The recipient is Miss Lily Atkinson at Old Station Offices, York. The relationship between “A&WB” and Lily appears to be quite formal as the message ends “yours sincerely”.
The message is a conventional birthday greeting but also seems to suggest that Lily might be getting married soon, as the message goes on to hope “that your future day may have in store all that goes to make life beautiful , bright and happy”.
How this card ended up back in Winnie Barber’s collection will no doubt remain a mystery.
