I bought these postcards from a charity shop a few months ago for 5p each. I love them. They're so strange, I have no idea why someone would want to send a picture of one of these pretty boring rooms to their loved ones at home, to "wish you were here"!

On the back of all the cards, is a copyright date of 1983 which looks about right. The address given for The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is 1 Birdcage Walk, London, SW1H 9JJ and the phone number at that time was 01 222 7899, but this was before 'big number change' of the London area dialling codes in 1990.

All photographs by Bill Johnson, B.J. Studios. If you have any more postcards which you think belong to this 'set', please let me know.
