Thanks to John Wilson for finding a quote which seems to dispose finally
of the heresy that there was electric power (other than Dick's pigeon
battery) at Beckfoot.
I'm also interested to see that there's someone else who assumes, as I
have always done, that Beckfoot was in the Turner family before the
marriage of Molly to Bob Blackett, and was the place where Molly and Jim
were brought up by the GA. Can you find textual evidence for this too?
There was a thread about it some time ago and I was surprised to
discover that my view was not universally shared. Until then I hadn't
consciously realised that it was an assumption.
