I am most interested in a Victorian Fern Specialists, that was one once operating in this Parish, by the name of W. and J. Birkenhead. I have read a copy of the 1983 Journal Volumne 11.1 in which there is a feature headed “W. AND J. BIRKENHEAD ‘FERNS A SPECIALITY’ by N. A. Hall – 1983”

I wonder if anyone knows how I may contact “N. A. Hall” or indeed has any information about W. and J. Birkenhead, of Sale, Cheshire. If so please I can be contact on 0161-969-2795 and address below.

May I thank readers most sincerely for their kind help.
