I HAD a postcard dated 1904 which showed Happy Valley devoid of trees, and a line of poles which took the telephone wires to West Malvern up and over the hills. I saw trees being planted on both sides of the valley c1927. The area now looks like a forest.

I showed the card to a friend in the Priory on Sunday and walked out with it in a church magazine, at which point it disappeared. It is of sentimental value. If anyone should find this, please let me know.
