| AdminHistory | 2014/153: This box of slides seems to have been produced for and kept by the Water Supply Department. It was found in a cupboard in a school in Alvechurch, Worcestershire in the 2000s, prior to demolition. It is not known how the slides ended up there. The slides were donated to LoB in 2014. |
