Colin Pykett 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2014 Not quite as old but arguably in a similar vein is Robert Hope-Jones's personal scrapbook which recently came to light and is currently being examined and archived by the Lancastrian Theatre Organ Trust.

davidh 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2014 "Coming up at Sotheby's on 20 Nov for anyone with a couple of hundred quid to spare." Estimate 100,000 — 150,000 GBP Couple of hundred thousand? If only there was some consistency in using commas and dots as decimal points and thousands markers. I could afford £150, but not the larger amount. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
