專家說明

Adle Street was the location of a number of brass founders in the 17th century, so it is reasonable to assume that William Ward was among these craftsmen. However Ward is not listed in the 1692 tax books for that location suggesting that his business had already ceased to trade. (We are grateful to Dr. Adam Bowett for this information).
Robert Charles Tombs (1842-1923) took the lease on 13 Pemberton Gardens on 11th September 1879. Tombs was the author of The Kings Post, a volume of historical facts relating to the mail, mail coaches, coach roads and railway mail services connected with the city.
