Francis J. Field & John Addison & Site

Don't know whether Rosemount is Francis J. Field's house on Richmond Road or elsewhere in Sutton Coldfield. He was certainly living on Richmond Road for a big part of his life (lots of letters to him at that address).

Yes, I think that could be the same John Addison, but we need to be sure. If it is the same character, then we are clearly dealing with somebody significant to the development of railway at a national level.

And yes, the site seems to be both edge and centre at the same time. And yes, it binds locally and connects globally.
