Wow  Malky that is amazing thank you!!   Thanks for all comment and also Carol for the link, there is one that looks almost identical.     My friend is going to be very surprised and not a little puzzled about why her mother would have one!!

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Strange Item of jewellery - any ideas please
« on: Wednesday 10 December 14 14:53 GMT (UK)  »
The above piece is made of none uk silver,  about 3" in depth and hinged. My friend found it among her mothers possessions and is curious to know what it is and if it has a purpose.  Her Mother came from a Russian Jewish family who arrived in the UK in about 1900.  We have no idea if the piece is connected to her origins.

Would be grateful for any ideas.

Hello AL,

I am really pleased that it has been of some use!  :) It is good to have the event confirmed.  I've just been looking at the Leodis pictures, it looks so different now.  I think that the Robert Peel statue is now in Hyde Park, Leeds and I don't know what happened to Queen Victoria.  It's a much smaller space now.

Best wishes, Elin

Hello Al,

Sorry but I haven't had any luck.  I looked in the YEP, the YP and the Leeds Mercury for both dates. I could find nothing relating to radio broadcasts for the first date.

There was a lot of material relevant to the broadcast of the King's speech but sadly no mention of John Cyril Radcliffe.  The broadcasts in Leeds took place in Victoria Square in front of Leeds Town Hall and at the Mansion in Roundhay Park.  The photo's shown are for Roundhay Park and while one of the articles mentioned who had provided the radio equipment for the Park no mention was made about who was responsible for the equipment at Victoria Square.

What information do you already have about this, could it give us any clues?

Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.  :(

Elin
