York Exhibition
In the space intervening between the central and Great Halls, a large equatorial mounted telescope which stands 15 feet high is exhibited by Messrs T Cooke & Sons York opticians, the instrument which is an object of curiosity with an object glass of 10 inches.
The sale price is £1200 (my note; at today's prices that telescope would cosy nearly £150,000)
