Title: 1860s Newspaper clipping - what's the word after 'Beds'? COMPLETED
Post by: cloviscat on Tuesday 06 November 12 13:36 GMT (UK)

Good afternoon everybody

Would you care to take a look at this scan? I'm posting it as I received it, scale, res, etc. Can you work out what the word is after 'Beds'? Initial thought was 'Chandelier' but are there enough ascending letters?

Obviously, it's not of eart-shattering importance, but any opinions welcome.

Many thanks

I think we can call that sorted, fixed and generally completed.
Thank you!
