, however, staff at a building society were taken aback after receiving a postcard that was delivered 121 years late.
The addressee, Lydia Davies, is believed to have lived on the street more than a century ago and would have been 16 when she was supposed to receive the card. “The plan is to get it back to someone that may be related to Lydia, and for it to be a keepsake for them that they can pass on for generations to come.”Photograph: Henry Darby/PA
