Throughout the town there is a wide variety of architectural styles from the medieval overhangs in Drapers Lane & School Lane, to the Georgian splendour of Broad Street. These fine examples include the 663 Priory Church, a very important religious centre in pre-Norman conquest times & formerly a monastery. Grange Court, built in 1633 by the King's carpenter John Abel, formerly sat at The Buttercross, on the junction of High & Broad Streets, serving as town hall with an open-air market beneath. It was moved to its current site in The Grange in 1856. The lower floor was enclosed, & today Grange Court houses local authority offices. The Orphans Printing Press was established in 1873 by Henry Stanley Newman. The business was intended to generate monies to support the recently founded Leominster Orphans Homes, to provide industrial training for at least some of the orphans in its care, and to publish materials which would act as a force for good. $24.00 Die-Cut Card Community Fund appeal card handed out to donors in October, but what year?

There is also a plethora of interesting full, half & quarter-page ads, but we didn't want to break the binding or crease the pages trying to scan in pictures for you. Ads include all the latest innovations of the printer's and publisher's profession: presses, metal type, heating units, dry mats, and even the Taylor Co's. Wine Grape Juices! (Did the printer drink that while he worked?) The silver cover is showing a little wear, which is quite common with this type; our scanner has exaggerated the ripple effects. Pages 2 and 3 show some dirty fingerprinting at the very bottom, with the remainder of the inside pages being very clean; there are no tears. We rate this item's condition as 8.5 on a scale of 10. $20.00 Penny postcard - Curt Teich divided back - unused Reverse shows exterior of building and says "Paris Inn Cafe, Outstanding European Cafe of America, 210 East Market Street, Los Angeles, California" (shown here larger than actual standard size so you can see the details) $15.00 Samson "Safe-Flex" Fans 1937 Distributor's & Salesmen's Sales Manual, Samson-United Corporation, Rochester, N.Y.
