Last day of the stocktake! Here's a little surprise we found in a box of #Huyton lantern slides we were cleaning: from Cowper's 'Diverting #History of John Gilpin', Gilpin hangs desperately onto his bolting #horse (Primus series B) #EYADustbusters #poems #culture #archives #story

Stocktake Week 2 starts as we ended Week 1, with the #Huyton Wrennall #Maps (1878). #Properties , street features & sewers can be identified using the 'explanation' key. It's also Family History Help Desk week - dates, times & venues below👇 #family #local #History #EYADustbusters

Stocktake Day 5 brings us this fascinating #Huyton UDC volume of meticulously recorded road & footpath measurements, compiled by surveyor William Wrennall in 1879. Interesting to see some of the original names of roads in the township #EYADustbusters #local #urban #History
