Now I have no idea who Mel is or was or when she received this postcard from Chris, but it’s an intriguing little mystery.
I am sure someone will know of Miss M Calderbank who either worked, or lived at the Chorlton Conservative Club.
And maybe even the surname of Chris who confided that “the sea is far to rough for the boat.”
What makes the postcard just that bit more interesting is that it was sent to me by Emma in Spain, which begs the question, of why was it not posted?
Or if it was how did it end up back in Spain?
All very intriguing and within the hour Annette, Della and Marie all replied with memories of Melody Calderbank. Anntte went to Levenshulme High School with Melody, Della remembered her parents Dick and Mona and Marie told me she would now be in her fifties which might date the postcard to around 1974.
But the best is that Melody's sister has also been in touch commenting that "my sister is 66 now...I'm 56...she married in 1972 when she left the Conservative Club...so post card could be older..."
So not bad as a start and more to come.
