Thank you, Mike.

Fascinating picture, Vivienne. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Ell. I had wondered quite where Eagle Foundry had been.

I am fascinated by what you say, Shortie, and have emailed our mutual friend asking him to pass my email address on to you. I would love to know the title of your book & discuss your research. In the meantime what area did the map cover, other than the area reproduced in post 1? Thank you for...

As always, thank you Ell & Oisin for sharing the photos.
