Really psyched to get a second bobbin for my 1970s era Traditional. My friend who gave me the wheel found it in her house, three years after the fact, and I was very pleased to receive it. The newer style bobbins fit ok, but they are better with the new style of flyer, and the new flyer is kinda heavy for my wheel. So I feel like today is my lucky day.

Olive wasn't fully on her own, of course, she had her family.

However, even ignoring her reflexive embarassment about her family, her parents and sister didn't live in London any longer.

She still stuck it out in London for a few years but I think she was done with the city by this stage, and didn't move to Norfolk/Suffolk either.

Instead, a close friend had told her about an opportunity for teaching training near the town of in . So off she went with my dad in tow. 25/?

@lilakgillsbhoy oh, I hadn’t made the connection with the football club’s colours but now that you mention it, yes. I remember one of his β€œunzipped” buildings was in :

@matttviews One of his best. I know he did a lot of work in Ashford but not sure if he realised that those are Ashford United's colours. Here's a shot I took at one of their games.

@im Traddy sounds like a good guess. I know, that they mark their wheels nowadays, but who knows what they did 50+ years ago. Have you checked the underside of the treadle.

You could take the exact measurements of a bobbin (length, diameter of the whorls, inner diameter of the shaft). That way you can compare to now available bobbins - theprolificcrafter.co.uk/wp-co - inner diameter is missing, but it's a starting point.

And beware: spinning wheels are herd animals ... they propagate
