joegrgraham 30 #1 Posted February 5, 2019 Found this plaque at work today. John Ferrabee of the Phoenix iron works was in partnership with Edwin Beard Budding, and he was the one who did all the casting for the first lawnmower. The pair also created the adjustable spanner! This plaque is in Stroud cemetery, Edwin is buried in Dursley. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wristpin 399 #2 Posted February 7, 2019 An interesting plaque with the archaic word "relict" - for widow. If anyone has an interest in the history of adjustable spanners , there's a man named Ron Geesin who has a collection of over 3000 and has written a book on the subject. The Adjustable Spanner, History and origins.ISBN 978 1 78500 035 5 1 nigel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
