A fountain plays in a round lily pond before the white-stuccoed Rose and Crown inn — its orange pantile roof warm against the deep green of Lickey Hills woodland — in this hand-tinted colour postcard postmarked Valentine's Day, 14 February 1951, from Birmingham. The Rose and Crown at Lickey Hills, south of Birmingham in Worcestershire, was a favourite destination for day-tripping Brummies throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Lickey Hills Country Park offering walking, a golf course, and this welcoming pub as reward. The card was addressed to Georg Zimmermann at the same Kürbisstrasse 10, Rüsselsheim address as the companion card PC-04584, confirming a sustained correspondence — and the postmark slogan "BLOOD DONORS ARE STILL URGENTLY NEEDED" stamps the moment with unmistakable post-war urgency, reflecting the National Health Service's ongoing transfusion appeals in the early 1950s. The sender, writing in German, opens warmly "Lieben Opa" (Dear Grandpa), placing a grandchild in Birmingham sending greetings home to Germany — a tender trans-continental family snapshot from the age of reconstruction.
