I'm pleased to say that Chris Dunham has now posted this picture on his Genealogue Blog.  Let's hope a few new eyes can solve the mystery!

As Chris says (in his inimitable way!)  - "After sixteen pages of posts, they have established with near certainty that it is in fact a photograph."

Hey!!!! Don't forget...We've also noticed there are several obscure objects
 in the picture ;D ;D ;D ;D :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

( which we've all managed to blow up to a much larger obscurity!)

Chris's site is one of my all-time favourites - he's drier than a piece of four-week old toast!

Just a shame we haven't tempted our US cousins in to solve this mystery yet!

No, you're not a latecomer, as it's not finished yet, Joanne!

Not sure I can weave a mystery hotel into the storyline, though!

cheers

Paul

Not a postcard, but a postcard sized photo'. I wish it was a postcard though - it would surely be easier to trace.
