[The top 2 sections of this page were originally launched on 20.05.13 as a Draft page, Bamford1. They were moved here after review led to acceptance that there was little chance of our making a significant improvement to them in the near future and that, with the addition of a new lower section, they were 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database. We have saved it as 'Bamforth2' rather than 'Bamford1' because we understand that, early on, the names were largely interchangeable.]
