Story behind the treasure: This picture was a gift from a friend, Henry Doubleday, given to me when he moved from Kent to Worcester. Henry was an artist and also an HMI for schools. He died in 1999 at the age of 100 years and 3 months. He had many interesting tales to relate as he was around when the first buses and cars were invented. He told me his father started public libraries in this country. An amazing man with a great sense of humour.
