GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Back to what the papers said.....
1. Berrow's Worcester Journal dated 1st May 1834 reported that Hanson & Welch were in difficulties.
However, as we all know, the building was completed and the postponed Birmingham Musical Festival did take place to great acclaim in the nation's press. In his opening post, Phil mentioned costs....
2. The Norwich Post dated 12th November 1834 quoted a figure. The last sentence refers to the cost of temporary accommodation for the Houses of Parliament following a fire. Nothing changes much where politicians are concerned!
3. Jackson's Oxford Journal dated 2nd May 1840 reported upon further enhancements to the organ built by Messrs Hill & Davison.
