-presumably the Makers initials, their where-
abouts - Walsall or Wigan or Warrington or
What-have-you and the owning company - Great
Eastern Rly and the date of manufacture (18)79.
Our day ended with meeting the Brigadier
on his way to the church and with him kindly
allowing us to wander in the gardens of Bartlow
Park where lawns and large beds of daffodils,
Narcissus and specimen trees blessed our view,
but alas, we didn't find Anemone Pulsatilla -
for this we had to wait three weeks and travel
beyond the county border to the Devil's Dyke ..
but that's another's story.
To close this Report we record our thanks
to Brigadier Breitmeyer of Bartlow Park for his
kind cooperation and to whom we send our best
wishes.
