cannot find Victoria cres. Ashton Gate in A-Z SS?

The Woodroffes were big landowners going back to the 16th century, originally from Yorkshire.

LD, LMAO they'll look at you like you lost the plot lol

Street address is just Costock and his father is down as "Ind" so independant. Wonder where the farm came from?!

The Red Lion still exists, might go there for lunch tomorrow and say I'm a friend of ..........

No not personally. Ashton Gate is about 7 miles from me - ish (this is a girlie responding now about mileage lol). Allthough the more Iook at it ......
Im off to have a look at the A-Z
...will be back.....

What's really mind boggling is when you move the keys around so no one else can use your keyboard if they can't touch type.

I'll find out if the Red Lion at Leake still exists

I have to type from memory as the letters are worn off my keyboard !

Oh wait... I didn't read the image fully lol

Address: The red lion inn.
Occupation: Farmer of 157 acres employing 3 men and 3 boys

LMAO

Sam is down as a farmer's son.

Tina, do you know Victoria Cres, Ashton Gate ?

About 55wpm I think... not sure... been a long time since I measured it. Touch typing is the only useful thing that I came out of school with ;-)

... do you know how many words per minute you type ?
