[QUOTE="John Appleton, post: 24727, member: 760"] Graham, I spoke today with Glen Barnes, proprietor of the Leiston Press, who told me that Leiston Abbey Press faded away in approximately 1974, but were certainly operational during the 1930's. I realise this is of no more than passing interest, and doesn't help with your question. It was also of interest to me to find that Leiston had another connection with Vincent, as I was already aware that, when the Stevenage works closed, a few of the skilled workers moved to Leiston to take up employment at the Richard Garratt engineering factory, part of which we now own and run our family business from. I know you will already have done this, but Glens only suggestion was to search on the title page of the books as it would be normal for re-prints to be dated at time of the re-run. As I previously stated, no help with your questions, but of passing interest for all that. [/QUOTE]
