Mysterious postcard arrives more than 120 years late

Have you ever had a birthday card or a parcel arrive late in the post?

How about more than 100 years late?

That's exactly what happened in Swansea, where a postcard sent over 120 years ago has finally arrived at its destination.

The letter is thought to date back to 1903 and arrived at a building society in the Welsh city last week!

What happened?

The Christmas-themed postcard shows a stag standing in front of snowy mountains and was recently delivered to a branch of Swansea Building Society.

The card was addressed to a Miss Lydia Davies, who previously lived at the address.

The postcard is written by a man called Ewart and contains a mysterious message.

He writes he is "so sorry" that he cannot pick up a "pair" - but doesn't reveal what the pair could be?

Royal Mail think it is likely the card was "put back into" its system, rather than "being lost in the post for over a century".

Staff at the building society said they hope to find the family of Miss Davies so they can reunite them with the postcard.

"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," they said.
