Incidentally, I have tried to trace the name ‘Vignoles’ in this case, and not found much… There was a famous railway engineer with this name, but in the 19th century. I wondered if it might even have been the name of the ship that it was exported on, but again drew a blank. I suppose that it was the name of the importer, but would like to know more, if only to prove my Frank Varey/Allan Jefferies theory !
