Description

An early 1900s postcard memento for holiday visitors to Builth Wells, following the fashion for 'taking the waters' at the inland spas of mid-Wales. The wells at Builth were somewhat overshadowed by the more popular nearby resort of Llandrindod Wells, and there is little trace of them today.
