A rare and authentic piece of social history, this 1947 Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales) Senior Card offers a fascinating glimpse into post-war travel and youth culture in the United Kingdom. Issued to Mr. A.M. Sibun of Catford, London, the card features the iconic blue YHA triangle logo with the year 1947 prominently displayed. The interior includes a signed declaration dated August 15th, 1947, and shows a single stamp for 'Doddington' under the 'Hostels Visited' section. The card details the association's mission to provide simple accommodation for those of limited means to explore the countryside. This item is an excellent find for collectors of ephemera, scouting/hostelling memorabilia, or local London history.
