The joy of local history
Delighted to be contacted by Deborah Crozier
This is a picture of my late Father, John Britton.
He lived at East Law and made this sword for Amethyst Homes, which is on display at a housing estate in Consett set into a rock.
He made it when he was 86/87 years old.
Didn’t know if it would be of interest to The Last Swordmakers of Shotley Bridge.
We thank Deborah for sharing this image and background
