Ward,   16th    Sept.   1871,
Swimming    Match   Richmond
to  Kew’.   Unfortunately,
explains    curator Sue Barber,
there   are no  details of  the
event   and the man who
donated the cup found   it  in  a
skip    in  the Isle    of  Wight.
The atmosphere  inside  the
local   studies collection  is
friendly    and relaxed,    the low-
ceilinged   attic   room    crowded
with    books   and pamphlets.
