15 November 2009 - the pocket-watch
Spratton Local History Society held an exhibition in the Village Hall coinciding with the launch of its new book "A Farming History of Spratton 1766 - 1914" written by Michael Heaton. Winston Flower the pocket-watch man, whose grandfather, William Balderson is seen in the picture on the right with his wife, Anne, (picture of the two people together, image references 1387 and 1388) with the same pocket watch (superimposed) that his grandfather was wearing in the photograph. At the previous exhibition, he had a chance meeting in front of the same photograph with a lady, who was a grand-daughter of William Balderson - they had never met.
