Description:The Roebuck is seen here standing at the junction of the A51 and A513. On the right is Wolseley Bridge spanning the River Trent. In later years The Roebuck became known as The Wolseley Arms, however, the outward appearance of the building has not changed very much (except for the removal of the ivy). The main entrance was moved and accessed via a car park at the rear of the building. This quiet road scene has changed and is (in 2015) a busy junction with a road traffic island.
This Christmas postcard was posted by Lady Wolseley in London on the fifth of December 1907 to an address in 'Smyrna'. 'Turkey in Asia'. It arrived on 12th December 1907 at the British Post Office in Smyrna-which is now Ismir.
