That looks right to me, I looked on google maps and realised the sign is on a railway cutting, might be a bit of a pig getting my hands on that ! not sure the archives are interested in old signs  ::) ;D ;D

Thanks for having a look at the bowl , it must be a variant on the same theme I guess.

The archives department might suggest a good resting place for it  ;D

Keith you mentioned previously in this thread that you saw photos of the 'Rainbow' range.  Was it actually called Rainbow anywhere on documentation please?
Thanks

The family had quite possibly loaned the material.

If not,several years ago I know that there was talk of a book about S&W, so it might have been returned for help with that.

However, don't get excited, as these things do take time, and it could of course just have been a rumour!!

Strange you say that, while at the Webb Corbett visitor centre someone told me David Williams-Thomas was very busy with the family history so the rumour may not be a rumour, ::) ;D ;D

So still no confirmation that the 'Rainbow' range is an official pattern name?  (this is in reference to another thread about the use of the name arabesque and arboresque).

I'll email Mr Williams-Thomas and ask if he knows, although he didn't answer my last one so we'll have to wait and see  ::) ;D ;D
