Thanks
My
thanks for making this website possible go out to many people, perhaps
it is best if I try and break it down into general assistance and help
with specific areas of research.
Regarding
general help, my thanks go to all of the staff in the Photographic Department
at The Grove who have all contributed in reproducing many of the photographs
and images. Jean Saunders for her help in scanning and making many of the
photographs and images better than the original copies. Peter Cox for use
of his scanner and Dave Ludow for his help in launching this website.
Regarding
help with general research I would like to thank Mr A.E Phillips for the
loan of his unpublished papers on the history of The Grove, many of his
findings backed up and supported my own research. Mr Phillips worked at
The Grove in the marketing department until he retired in the late 1980's
and thanks go to Stanhope Pension Trust Ltd for allowing me, through them,
to locate Mr.Phillips
In
the research of Joseph Gillott, I would like to thank John Poole, pen collector,
John Gwin, pen collector, and Dr.Maureen Greenland, secretary of the Writing
Equipment Society for their contributions.
In
the research of Eliza Brightwen, I would like to thank Roy Abbott, Stanmore
historian, for the loan of many photographs, books and newspaper clippings.
In
the research of the Mountbatten connection, I would like to thank Lord
and Lady Brabourne for allowing me to use photographs from the Mountbatten
collection and to the staff at the Hartley Library, who helped me locate
the photographs.
In
the research of the Cunard connection I would like to thank Maryan Egan-Baker,
who lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. Maryan located all the information regarding
the American connections. I would also like to thank the present Lord Ebury,
who lives in Australia, for sending me the newspaper obituary clipping
of his uncle, Robert Grosvenor.
