Bath and West Show
« on: Friday 01 May 09 22:00 BST (UK) »
I have a lovely photo of some 19th century Somerset ancestors and on the back my great uncle wrote 'Taken the first year that the Bath and West Show took place in Taunton'.  I read in Wikipedia that the show was first held outside Bath in 1859, but can get no further with dating the photo.  Can anyone suggest where I can go to find this piece of information?

The Bath & West do have an Archivist, who would possibly be able to help.
Perhaps an enquiry to the Secretary would advise of the archivists address.

Hi Gisele,

Can't help you but wanted to say what a corker of a  photo.  Hope you find the date.
