Hello again everybody!
It is less than 24 hours since my last blog post, and I have been in contact with many people in the last day with regards to the Volta Tower, memories they have, or associated items they have in their possession. I have been in touch with a kind gentleman who owns a vintage postcard shop and has sold me a postcard of the tower from 1906, in which the sender mentions they used to live in the tower. Their name looks like 'Holley' but we are yet to trace who this person exactly is. I hope to find this out in due course upon the postcard's arrival! Prior to 1906, inhabitants of the Volta Tower included Elam Cooper and his family in the 1881 census, and David Roberts and his family in the 1891 census. It is possible it could be a member of one of these two families, or perhaps even someone before that? Who knows? We shall try and find this out!
In addition to this, I have now created a 'Coming Soon' page, which you can find in the extra drop down menu on the site. This new page details upcoming developments for the site, and what we have exactly in mind for 2013 on this very website. Keep your eyes peeled for new developments!
That is all for now. Take care one and all, and I shall inform you all of any new developments which should be very soon!
