Research and responses

Objects listed on page 26 and 27 of the green book are associated with the date 15.10.75 [AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]

Note the discrepancy in numbers of objects between the two entries [delivery catalogue and green book]. It does appear that these entries match however as the dates 15.10.75 presumably when PR bought the objects, and 19.10.75 when they were received at Bethnal Green match. The reason for the discrepancy of numbers is unknown though please note that even the full tiles appear to be chipped and at least one of the fragments is pretty complete! All the tiles are marked 15.10.75 on them and one only has the number 3862[AP Leverhulme project on founding collection 1995-1998]
