CAN anyone oblige me, please, by lending me a photograph of the former County Hotel during the 1930's (either the exterior or the ballroom) and the original Christ Church Memorial Hall (now the sale rooms) during the 1920's?

Both would make a useful addition to the illustrations for the forthcoming centenary history of the Malvern Concert Club, and I should be most grateful for any offer of help. I can most easily be contacted via the Elgar Birthplace Museum at Broadheath (telephone 01905 333224; fax 01905 333426).
