My new website may be of interest to those of you who collect firework memorabilia: Firework Ads
These adverts can be useful for dating old firework and box styles and are a great indication of the huge popularity of fireworks in Britain in days gone by.
I've also mentioned the excellent UKPS Wells at Amberley project.
John Bennett produced the site for me and it will be highlighted in the next issue of Fireworks Magazine.
If anyone can supply further information relating to the adverts shown or about missing adverts I should be grateful to hear from you.
