(Snettisham, Norfolk, Friendly Society.) A circa late C18th printed document "Articles and Orders Agreed to by a Select Company of Persons, Under the Denomination of a Friendly Society, Meeting at the Sign of the Compasses, at Snettisham, kept by William Parfrement, Whereas several sociable and well-disposed people considering the ill consequences...in case of sickness, lameness or any other infirmity, having thought proper...to raise a common stock, or purse...", the document with some manuscript pen & ink notes to margin, signed "Robert Fowell" lower right and m/s dated (appears to be "March 21 96", possibly 1796?), framed and glazed, the whole size 55 x 44cm. Before modern insurance and the welfare state, friendly societies provided financial and social services to individuals, often according to their religious, political, or trade affiliations. Friendly societies generally met people’s key needs: They provided an insurance against two major fears: sickness (and with it unemployment and poverty) and death. Local societies were small local informal groupings of people, often based in the local pub. For most people in the early 19th century their life was conducted within a half-days’ walk. Local societies would provide for people within a reasonable walk of the village pub – maybe two or three miles. The building was built in the late 18th century and is visible on the 6 inch 1st edition ordnance survey map (1879-1886). It is known that in the 19th century the building was used for Petty Sessions and County court business.

The map is regarded as the first comprehensive survey of Mahé, the principal island of the Seychelles. Hobbs has made use of the surveys undertaken by the crew of the HMS 'Stork', under the Command of Andrew Francis Balfour, in 1890. However, Hobbs concentrates on the interior of the island, noting its topography, settlements, and civil infrastructure. The island was a French colony from 1721 and wasn't formally returned to India until 1954, resulting in many of the place names being in French.

Renowned for his attention to detail, Cary played a significant role in elevating cartography to both an art form and a practical science. His surveys and innovative methods earned him commissions from various government bodies, including the Ordnance Survey, where he worked to establish accurate baselines for mapping.Cary's atlases, globes, and road maps became essential tools for travelers, geographers, and planners during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His New and Correct English Atlas is considered a landmark in British cartography, influencing the way maps were designed and utilized. Cary’s commitment to accuracy and clarity set new standards for the field, ensuring his legacy as one of England’s finest mapmakers.Book Description: The 1793 edition of Cary's New and Correct English Atlas is a carefully revised and expanded version of the original 1787 publication. This second edition reflects John Cary’s dedication to precision and includes updated maps based on actual surveys. Featuring a complete set of English county maps, the atlas is accompanied by descriptive text, providing geographical, demographic, and historical insights for each county.The maps are finely engraved and hand-colored, showcasing Cary’s mastery in combining scientific accuracy with aesthetic appeal. The second edition incorporates corrections and enhancements to the original plates, reflecting the evolving understanding of England’s geography in the late 18th century. Cary’s clear and detailed cartographic style made this atlas an indispensable tool for planners, travelers, and scholars of the era.This 1793 edition offers a rare glimpse into Georgian England’s geography

Having worked on Canberra aircraft and Wessex helicopters in the interim, he joined No. 846 Naval Air Squadron (N.A.S.) in September 1980. And it was in this capacity that he journeyed south to the Falklands in the carrier Hermes in April 1982. By Robert’s own account, he subsequently flew operational missions as ‘an extra gunner’ in the squadron’s Sea King helicopters, in addition to assisting in the preparation of a Wessex helicopter for an S.A.S. mission to the Argentinian mainland: stripped down for maximum speed and range, it dropped off an S.A.S. recce team before flying to Chile; the helicopter was torched on landing and the crew repatriated via the (neutral) German embassy. It was during his tour of duty in 846 N.A.S. that Roberts also participated in the Lebanon operations of February 1983 to March 1984. One of the unit’s helicopters, and seven support personnel, were transferred to the support ship Reliant, from which he made several trips to Lebanon, acting as an ‘Air Gunner operating a machine-gun, plus a chaff dispenser.’ Roberts was finally discharged in May 1987.
