Original promotional brochure for the Madeira Hotel, Falmouth, Cornwall. This was obviously a very grand hotel in its heyday but has now been demolished.
The brochure has 28 pages and the first 7 give details of the hotel and its facilities, including photographs. There are then 4 pages giving details of Falmouth and the surrounding areas, the remainder of the pages are adverts for local businesses interspersed with photos of local beauty spots.
The brochure is 125 x 155mm in size and has grained card covers. The pages are printed on a good quality glossy paper.
It was published by G W May Ltd of London who presumably handled the publicity for the hotel. The owners are shown as Mr & Mrs G H Price.
It is difficult to date this brochure, but one of the photos is of the "New Ballroom, opened in 1931" and I would think it probaly dates from shortly after that, certainly before 1939.
Very interesting item about a very grand hotel that no longer exists.
Please note. I do my best to accurately photograph and describe the condition of the items for sale, including any minor defects but all pieces are vintage and have had previous lives and so may have minor flaws.
