I was dismayed that I, for some reason, followed Birch in misidentifying the location as in Dorset, when, as you note, the title of the photograph provided by Science Museum Group gives the location as in Devon. I've changed the relevant references in this post.<br />TonyTony Edgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636818323982123697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500247109010734075.post-60625033782183965682013-09-02T12:21:08.661-04:002013-09-02T12:21:08.661-04:00Another spanner in the works of Birch's specul...Another spanner in the works of Birch's speculation would seem to be some geographical confusion. There is no "Chudleigh, Dorset". Chudleigh is in Devon, quite some distance west of Dorset, and it's an inland town, to boot. (Perhaps the photo was taken in a quarry?). Birch's article states that the photo was taken in "Dorset", but the Science Museum Group page hosting the photo, says--in three places--"Chudleigh, Devon". Solving a mystery depends a lot on starting with correct information!<br /><br />--HowardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
