Hi - I'm Richard and I live in North Wales. I sell Ephemera on ebay but genuinely when I find something of local interest I do try and contact local history groups to tell them about it because obviously I'm keen to sell it - it may be something somebody would love and they might never have known about it. I've listed it before without success.

The item is an edition of the JOURNAL OF THE INSTITUTION OF MUNICIPAL & COUNTY ENGINEERS dated April 1938. Sounds boring but it includes an 80+ page report entitled Municipal Activities in Bootle. It has questions like "Does the Bootle Corporation collect cafe and hotel refuse? There are photographs, plans and statistics. It covers transport, schools, play activities, housing etc

I just hope that someone will buy it and enjoy and share with others in the group.

Many thanks and take care.

If you're still interested in the Municipal Journal I've listed on ebay - I've dropped the price to £8 plus the postage. If you buy it, you won't be disappointed!
