However not as good as one form many years ago which I still have on VHS. There is an excellent book (long out of print) by Graham Farr on Bristol Channel Pilotage. Well worth reading if you can get a copy via the library.

One of the items purchased for auction was an oval brass tobacco tin with an inscription to William Harris of Wadeford Chard Somerset. I've been to Chard, but was unfamiliar with Wadeford so I've just looked up the location of this village in my atlas. So that's another new thing discovered today. The tobacco tin possibly dates from late Victorian or early Edwardian times. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Fri, 04 Feb 2011 14:12:37 -0000 From: "Josephine Jeremiah" <jojeremiah@dsl.pipex.com> Subject: [B&S] Bristol's sight-seeing bus tours, service resumes tomorrow, 5th.

I've just found a reference to a book about this school. A History of Sidcot School: a hundred years of West Country Quaker education, 1808-1908, by Francis Arnold Knight, was published by J.M. Dent & Co. in 1908. It looks like this book has been reprinted recently. -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com ------------------------------ To contact the BRISTOL_AND_SOMERSET list administrator, send an email to BRISTOL_AND_SOMERSET-admin@rootsweb.com.

I thought you meant a Grahame Farr book, which I didn't have. I have Grahame Farr's Somerset Harbours, which was published by Christopher Johnson in 1954. In it there are nine page references for pilots. The first two chapters are entitled 'The Haven of Bristol' and 'Portishead', while the other four chapters are on 'The Harbours of the Levels', 'Bridgwater', 'The Quantock Coast and Watchet' and 'Minehead and Porlock'. A map is at the beginning of the book and there are 15 photographs and 3 line drawings. It's an interesting book and I like dipping into it. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
