Deciphering Handwriting
« on: Tuesday 11 December 07 17:02 GMT (UK) »
I once had a list of the alphabet, and it showed you all the different variations of the old handwriting so you can try and work it out.
I am sure that I downloaded this online, would anyone know.
Many thanks, Peter

There's something on the National Archives website

Don't know whether that's the one you're referring to?
