Acknowledgements
I am very grateful to the following
for their invaluable help
in preparing this guide:
Pam Tromans, for compiling
and editing the material,
Richard Cave for his researching
of the historical material
and to Roger Hayward,
for the colour photography.
Without their efforts this guide would still be
an unrealised dream.
