Description:Hammerwich's Cottage Hospital opened in 1882, the costs being met by subscription. It was intended primarily for the victims of colliery accidents. It commemorated the late Birmingham manufacturer T. B. Wright of Fairview, Hammerwich, the foundation stone being laid by his widow who later left it £12,000. It was demolished in 2008 and the site is now occupied by housing on Pine Tree Close. The postcard was published by Blum & Degen, London but also has the logo for Geisen Brothers & Co., London. It was posted from Burntwood to Miss Gertie Palmer in Walsall in 1908.
