Unfortunately Brian the former Rougemont House in Exeter has long been noted
for its lack of public access.  A friend and I were present in the mid
1990's when Pat Perryman and Mary Yallop were attempting to retrieve the
Spriggs Collection from them to return to the Honiton museum. Fortunately we
were able to assist them in the retrieval by distracting the solitary staff
member on duty and the collection was retrieved and now resides in All
Hallows, in Honiton.  By the way we had managed to "talk" our way into the
museum by a long tale of how we had come all the way from Australia to see
the collection.  That was before they became strictly an "education" museum.

Enjoyed your article.

I apologize for the boring entries that I cant show you because of the 
policies of the Exeter (Devon) RAMM museum.


Yes I am peeved with them, but i doubt as if i will embarrass them.


There are still quite a lot of ships both photos and drawings.

The Guide for Collectors of East Devon Bobbins is in first draft and out 
to a few for comments. I will be placing it on my web page with the 
Dictionary etc. ( www.brianlemin.com )

I will drop arachne a note when it is up there.


Thanks for your support
