Marlborough Mansions Looking onto Portobello Pier and Portobello Beach |

Thank you to Richard Keltie, Glasgow, Scotland, for sending me this postcard. Richard has been researching his great-grandmother's connections with Portobello. In 1901, she was working at the Marlborough Hotel, 37 Promenade Portobello. The hotel was part of Marlborough Mansions, 29-41 Promenade. Five years later, Richard's great-grandmother, Martha Cook (born Martha McGill), had moved further along the promenade to Nos 52-53 where she owned her own hotel, 'Cook's Balmoral Hotel & Boarding Establishment'. |
