The Tolsons lived in a beautiful Georgian house nearby called Dosthill Hall which I remember visiting as a child when some of the Tolsons lived there. Tomorrow I am attending the funeral of the last Tolson in England who died recently and was a shareholder at the mill and lived for ment tears at Dosthill hall. I have inherited many old photos of the mill and the hall at a time when both were still in the family.<br />Robin Farquhar-Thomsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4228081722487474323.post-78750100777980926852011-11-12T15:44:38.291+00:002011-11-12T15:44:38.291+00:00Bazza: Thanks.

There is something wonderfully English and reassuring about this kind of building. Thanks for the piece of history too. I never thought about the origin of 'red tape' until now.
