I thought members might find it interesting. http://www.timelesstools.co.uk/images/S%20&%20J%20Family%20Tree.pdf Anyone know of similar webpages on the history of garden tools? a-a

  Reply | Contact Here are a couple of other web pages on old garden tools.  Firstly, an article on tools from an 1835 encyclopedia: http://www.gardenvisit.com/garden_products/garden_tools/historic_garden_tools oldgardentools.co.uk is worth a look, and their 'useful links' page might be helpful: http://www.oldgardentools.co.uk/links.aspx By the way, I use an old fork which has 'BST' stamped on the shaft.  I now know from your Spear & Jackson family tree that this was made by Brades Skelton and Tyzack, presumably between 1962 and 1967.  So thanks for the link!
