Dear Sir,
I wonder if you would allow me to insert an appeal in the
B.B.? I am collecting information about
the lead workings in the Priddy area, and already have several old photographs
including one of the interior of the Cuthberts works and a photograph of the
Chewton Minery. If any reader of the
B.B. has access to any old photographs, etchings, etc. of these or any other
local lead works, I would very much like to borrow them. The same applies to old large scale maps of
the area or to any other unusual references. All material borrowed will, of course, be treated with great care and
duly returned to their owners. Please
contact me at the above address if you have any material which you think might
be of interest in this connection.
P.A.E.
Stewart.

penny-farthing? I have a genuine 1890
Singer Challenger which is in very good condition apart from its having no
tyres. Please get in touch with me if
you are interested.
