| The set, launched on June 20, will feature the Frank Gehry-designed Maggie’s Centre at Ninewells Hospital on the 42p stamp.
The other buildings depicted are 30 St Mary Axe in London, better known as The Gherkin; a Selfridges store in Birmingham; the Downland Grinshall open-air museum in Chichester; An Turas on the Isle of Tiree (a shelter for passengers waiting on the ferry); and Hull sea-life centre The Deep.
The Maggie’s Centre will be issuing a commemorative postcard with a view of the centre, the Royal Mail stamp and a special commemorative cancellation as part of their fund-raising efforts this year.
As the cancellation will only be applied on June 20, it is expected to become a prized collectors’ item.
The cards will be available for £2.50, plus post and packaging.
A limited number signed by the architect Frank Gehry will be available at a later date.
All proceeds will go to the centre’s running costs — around £300,000 per year. The cards can be bought online at www. maggiescentre.org, or by post. |
