Engineers Report Book October 12th 1875
I beg to submit to your notice a sample of the present quantity of coal now being delivered, which appears inferior to the last.
Your Obedient Servant, J Johnston
My Notebook June 2009
Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg to report that I was at the Goldstone works last week and can inform you that I have spent some time at the works rediscovering my skills, long since used, of penmanship and have embarked on drawings of draftsman like intent and collages with a feel of exactitude. I can report that the meeting has been arranged for 9.30am on the morning of the 11th to commence the hunt through the pumping station’s own aged documents in storage. It is anticipated to reveal the daily routine of the blacksmith and workers of such like. I can also report that a clear summary of intent for this exhibition has now been composed and is ready to mail to the building’s former industrial archaeologist and a steam enthusiast of high regard.
