Society of Papermakers

LET'S hope health and safety hasn't got wind of this firetrap of a cart, decorated and packed full with boxes of paper.

These 11 gents, celebrating the Original Society of Paper-makers, in London Road, High Wycombe, don't seem to mind, though, as they posed for this picture in around 1895. Do you recognise any ancestors among the faces here, or did your family have any ties to the society back when Wycombe's paper mills were at their height? If you have any information on the picture, call Mike Dewy on 01494 755105 or 01628 525207.
