Max, I've attached a fairly well known posed photo of timber on a Ub taken much earlier than the period you are interested in, but for what it's worth it shows...
Peter, Thanks for the references. The posed picture with the N on top looks like a publicity stunt (if that was the word used in 1900) I received the Midland...
Hi Max Yes I've had the cheque for several days now but have not made it to a banque yet. It will be too much so I'll let you know how much credit you have. ...
