Local History, now you are talking, I am always on the look out for books like that, you did well to get that for £1.50. I bought a "job lot" from the local auction centre all from 1903- 1911 great value they were, they came from the original company that printed them, when they closed down. Thought they might have cleared them before as they had stored them for over 100 years!!
