Cooke Telescope Tales - Telescope for Rotherham in 1865

 In South Yorkshire, Jonathan Booth of Moorgate, Rotherham purchased a 4 inch educational telescope on a mounting with latitude adjustment. This telescope was purchased from Thomas Cooke & Sons in 1865. 

As is often the case I unfortunately have no other information on Jonathan Booth.
