the real thing!

couldnt read it cos I didnt have my....wot do you call them clegs? geks?

but it was the real deal

Gegs ?
Glasses, well thats what I call them!
Thought it was Kecks you wrote at first but they are trousers!

Did you not get a photo?
Sill open arent they? Go back and get a snap!

May be if you say the pubs name we could find out what its about?
Looks like it will be what Mallosa said but would be interesting to know about it. The pub may have some history about it too.
you didnt ask!

Oh wow Peter what a thing to have! Brilliant.

I've got some too, they were legal documents written by Solicitors, the ones I have are written in copper plate and have Seals of one of the King George's. You can buy them on Ebay, there often on there for sale. Linell.

Me to- think one of mine is for a field which is now Tescoes in Cradley Heath

Yes you sent us a copy of that Carol, when you see TESCO sitting there now it is hard to imagine that it was once Hingley homes with small holdings etc. Would love to go back in time, just to have a look Linell.
