There's Lovely

An interesting foray into Wales yesterday, 6am start, best part of an hour battling through Birmingham on the M6. Met Wyn Rogers the owner of Rogers and Co printers. Wyn's father started the press after being demobbed out of the RAF at the end of WW2. Wyn entered the business in the early 60s and finally closed down about 8 years ago. All is still there as Wyn was renting out the property and had no need to move out!
I managed to buy some nice wood type and a small proof press which will all be available after a good cleaning and sort out.
