Description: A photographic copy of a postcard. The original card, dated 4 May 1924, refers to the opening of the Cottage Hospital on London Road by the Duchess of Devonshire 'last Monday'. However, the Hospital had been in existence since 1911, so the reference is most likely to be to the opening of an extension.
The Duchess - presumably the figure here with the bouquet - was Evelyn Emily Mary Cavendish (1870-1960), wife of the 9th Duke.
