Bell Street, Shaftesbury in Telegraph article
« on: Sunday 29 April 07 18:44 BST (UK) »
Hi, while looking through the property section of the Saturday Daily Telegraph, I came across an article about a house in Bell St. Shaftesbury,and its involvement in the dodgy political dealings in the town in the 19th century. I thought it might be worth putting a link here as several RCers had ancestors in the area.
