Description
"Whyligh, Dalhousie". External view of a house, with a large front verandah, and an older lady sitting in the garden. This is probably Isabella Plumb (1861-1944) who had campaigned for nearly ten years to raise the funds to open the Whyligh rest-home. She worked there as the superintendent from when she retired as a missionary, in 1925, till she returned to Britain in 1930. She worked with the Women’s Association for Foreign Missions in Pune and Sialkot and was greatly concerned with women’s education. Dalhousie was established as a British summer retreat and sanatorium in 1854 and named after the then British Viceroy in India. It is built on five hills and Whyligh House sits on the Samir Terah hill.
