Interesting and concise list of events.
Any photographers visiting Britain could satisfy various desires by visiting the home of Fox Talbot, which is now a museum of photography.
The house, Lacock Abbey, is set in a village which is wholly-owned by the National Trust. No signs of modern life (wires, satellite dishes, lines on the road, etc.,) are permitted anywhere, so a visit is like stepping back a century or two.
There is an excellent inn to spend the night at (The Sign of the Angel), though here there is unfortunately a break with tradition. Prices are bang up to date, with an emphasis on "up".
Nonetheless, if you don't mind a bit of a splurge, it's a good place.
Lacock is not too far from places like Bath and Bradford upon Avon, which is another point in its favour. The only thing I can't tell you is how good the museum is. I've been to Lacock twice, and both times it was closed. Worth checking the opening times before you go.

Outstanding read, Shel!! I only skimmed it, but it's just chock full of interesting and (heretofore to me) new information.
It was nice to see Pentax and Asahi get a few mentions in there.
I know the digital tide is well and truly upon us, and that the march of "progress" is inevitable, but it's still kind of sad to see the last few entries regarding the current state of film, and some of the companies that produce(d) it.
Thanks for sharing that with us. I've bookmarked it for future reference.
cheers, frank
