The images here are of artefacts found when clearing the Lloyd family house in Wantage. Lorenzo Lloyd moved to Wantage from Wiltshire in 1895 and established an engineering business there which was located in Portway. The former farmhouse and adjacent barn which housed the workshop were demolished in the late 1970's but the workshop has since been recreated in the Wantage and Downland Museum.
