John Lancaster's wagon and trailer parked on Bank Street in 1979. John had taken note of what Richard Drinkall and John Harrison had done in 1972 and at one point drove my old wagon for Richard after I had left to work at Bancroft. I suspect he found that it wasn't a license to print money. So a forgotten corner.....

Arthur Duxbury with his carpenter in the Model joinery works in 1976. Briggs and Duxbury were an important element of the town fifty years ago.

Nothing special, just Bancroft engine running smoothly one summer morning driving a weaving shed and making power for the whole mill. Alles in ordnung! A forgotten corner now....
