We’ve had a letter this week for Norma Warren from Esperance in Western Australia.
We have 14 iron poles made by Buller Ltd U.K. which we are using in our local reserve, as they are part of the history of this town.
They are the original poles used to link Adelaide to the west. The line came through Ceduna, Eucla, Esperance and onto Albany in Western Australia.Do you have any information on when and where these were made and sent to Australia?We would love to find out more about them but I am not sure where or how to get started. Please can you help?
regards,
Norma Warren,
Esperance Western Australia
It was an interesting coincidence that the very next letter in my email inbox after this came from genealogical website findmypast.co.uk. They were suggesting I take a look at their all-new database of ancestral criminals and deported miscreants. Look, I’m only telling it how it is!
Anyway, It’s highly likely that one of our readers may be able to help Norma. If so, drop us a line at the usual address: martin@telegraphpoleappreciationsociety.org
