Hi Celia

Great photos and sketch plus the info regarding the mill seems to comply with my findings which is also great news.  Just one thing though, what was the name of the publication you obtained these from, or is it just a local study that somebody has put together for the library?

I have just discovered the postcard of the first photo in a box of old things at my dads.  I'd love to know who the lady is holding the child.  What is quite annoying is that there is no dates to the photos which would help tremendously.

Ah well you can't have everything, it's amazing how this little thread has developed.

Cheers again

Hi Celia

I haven't received the 2 pages at either e-mail address.  I'm at work again now so if you would be kind enough to try again I would be really grateful.

Cheers

Hi Celia
I've been offline for a couple of days and I just picked up your PM and the one from Watermill.  You're right, it is exciting  Grin

I'll let you know what I find out if Watermill allows me.

Cheers

  Just thought how much the building in the photo at this link looks like the photo earlier in the massage.

Hi John

Thanks for sending this, I had seen it before but I hadn't kept a copy, plus my new contact would probably like to see the photo.  It is most definately the same view etc.

Cheers
