| Custodial History | John Smedley Ltd, Lea Mills presented this plan to Walter Holder, an accountant and later director of the company, when he retired. Following his death in 1974, the plan was passed down through the family and framed. Following this, it left Derbyshire for London, then moving to West Yorkshire and finally to Devon. The plan was donated to Derbyshire Record Office by a member of the public in April, 2026. |
