Title: Dulwich Railway Convalescent 1956
Post by: BenRalph on Monday 24 September 18 08:34 BST (UK)
Does anyone know where I could find information on this please as I've a group photo of men with this sign in front of them and I've no idea what it's about or who's in the photo in relation to my family.

Sorry both of you, I got the wrong place name. I've now got the photo in person and it's Dawlish Railway Convalescent home. The year was correct. 1956.

Sorry for the confusion.

Hi,

I expect you'vready found out more about this photo now, but just in case :)
If you Google "Dawlish Railway Convalescent" there are some similar photos and it seems to still exist as RCH Bridge House, Dawlish.
