From extracts of her diary kept by her family, she was based at Capesthorne Hall, Nr Siddington, Cheshire, Woolton Towers, and Moston, then later at the Chester Military Hospital. On 26th October 1943, she noted that a large convoy of repatriated POW's arrived, many of whom died of Tuberculosis. In January 1944 she transferred to the Chester Military Hospital, again caring for many sick patients. She was very popular with the patients and was apparently called 'Honey Pot'.On D-Day, 6th June, the colonel-in-charge celebrated by sharing a bottle of champagne with the staff in the ward kitchen. She was demobbed on 4th February 1946.Her daughter notes that she worked extremely hard, was upset by some of the injuries she treated, but found solace in getting to know the patients and kept in contact with many of them. The diary recalls trips to dances, the cinema and dinners at the Grosvenor Hotel in Chester. Condition ReportFair overall. Wear to the collar and loose hanger tab Badges with some chips and wear.

Harry Powell for James Powell and Sons, Whitefriars, an Arts and Crafts glass air twist and controlled bubble goblet, circa 1890, the optic ribbed bell shaped bowl with a spiral band of air bubbles, on a tapered stem of three helix strands, on a radial ribbed conical foot, 16.5cm highNote: from the 1880s Harry Powell experimented with trapped air techniques, in the 18th century manner, re interpreting the traditional methods in a new and innovative way to create contemporary designs. This appears to be a very rare and unusually large example of the use of these techniques, reflecting the trend in the 1880s for Venetian capacity wine goblets.See Evans, W. et al. 1995, Whitefriars Glass, Museum of London, p.79, pl.78 for an illustrated example of this pattern combination on a champagne flute, possibly from the same service.

CRANACH, Lucas (1472-1553), after. ("Christ and the Apostles"). N.d. (c. 1550?). Series of 13 woodcuts of Christ and the Apostles portrayed in full, all v°'s blank. Each c. 315 x 180 mm. All hinged to cardboard mounts, divided over three separate 19th c. gilded oak wooden frames w. red velvet striping, each 'portrait' having its own glass window. (Margins trimmed/cut close to/on/over border line, some foxing/browning, and slight staining in places).NOTE: Very rare series, strongly resembling the series by Cranach, but with considerable differences (i.a. the adding of 'landscapes' at the foot of each print). Despite our efforts we have not been able to detect a similar series, neither in a collection, nor in auction. Our series does not include St. Peter. Each woodcut carries in the left outer section a 'stamp' which could be seen as a monogram? Thanks to the kind assistance of Frans Laurentius we could identify a watermark in 1 woodcut (most likely - as a coat of arms together with a rooster). This type of paper originates from Troyes in Champagne and was probably produced by the Nivelle family of papermakers, dates range between 1546 and 1557. - Cf. Dodgson, Early German & Flemish woodcuts, 103-116; Hollstein, German, 31-44.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the W123 four-door versions in January 1976 and, while there were some technical similarities to their predecessors, the new models were larger in wheelbase and exterior dimensions. The styling was also updated, although stylistic links with the W115 were maintained. In September 1982, all models received a mild facelift which included the rectangular headlights, previously only fitted to the 280/280E which were standardised across the board as was power steering. Since February 1982, an optional five-speed manual transmission was available in all models. Optional extras included MB-Tex upholstery, velour or leather upholstery, interior wood trim, passenger side exterior mirror, five-speed manual gearbox, four-speed automatic gearbox, electric windows, central locking, sunroof, air conditioning, climate control, Alpine horn, headlamp wipers, cruise control, power steering and heated seats. An original UK-market right hand drive example, this W123-generation 230 TE was specified with Champagne paintwork over a beige interior, and is equipped with the rare factory options of cruise control and ABS. First registered in January 1983, it has had only five keepers from new and was kept by the same family for 17 years prior to the present owner. Today, the bodywork remains in very good order. While the front wings have previously been restored, this is believed to have been due to corrosion rather than any accident damage, and the underside of the car has been fully cleaned and rust-proofed to protect it from the elements. Fully resprayed a few years ago at a cost of £5,000, the Champagne metallic paintwork still looks good, with only two minor blemishes on the scuttle panel and a bubble at the front driver’s side of the sunroof panel, which is commensurate with the vehicle’s age. All the body trims, including the brightwork and plastic mouldings present very well. This 230 TE rides on the correct set of chromed 14-inch wheels with gold hubcaps. All four feature some chips and scratches to their surfaces, so would perhaps benefit from refurbishment to match the quality of the paint. Inside, it still features all of its original upholstery and trim which appears to be in very good order, considering the car’s age and mileage. The seats are clad in hardwearing beige fabric and show few signs of use, save for some minor blemishes on the base of the driver’s seat. Trimmed in beige vinyl with matching cloth centre sections, the door cards are similarly smart, and while there is a small nick towards the bottom of the rear passenger-side item, this does not detract from the interior’s impressive overall condition. Entertainment is provided via a period-correct Becker Avus cassette player. This modern classic Mercedes’ most recent routine maintenance was an extensive service, which was carried out by specialist Cosford Hall Classic in late 2019 at around 157,000 miles. At a total cost of £9,000, this involved replacement of the brake components and a full engine service, as well as the fitment of a new distributor cap, rotor arm, HT leads and spark plugs, to name but a few items. Prior to this, the brake discs and pads were changed at 156,183 miles, and the timing chain was changed in September 2018. The engine was recently overhauled at a cost of £4500, new radiators installed new fuel injectors were renewed as were the fuel pipes and a new battery was installed. The radio has been changed to a recent Bluetooth one although the original Becker radio will be included with the car, which just need re attaching for use once again. A great classic Mercedes-Benz which has reached ‘cult’ status we believe. Consigned by James Good. ORIG RIGHT HAND DRIVE CARFULL RESPRAY A FEW DAYS AGO
