Images of artefacts uploaded to the Virtual History TourI'm not sure if anyone still follows this topic but as it's been read more than 235,800 times, I though I should perhaps keep it going.
Today and yesterday a number of images of interesting artefacts have been uploaded. These include many that I've acquired over a long period of time and have now donated to Marple Local History Society Archives for safe keeping. These include: a Carriage Lamp from Marple Hall, a silver Rose Bowl from 1910 commemorating the return of a local MP, and a number of commemorative china items item, my favourite of which must be the John Jinks water jug from the Ring o' Bells that can be dated to 1878-1887 when John was Landlord of the pub.
