NB There are no objects from West Midlands

 

Occasionally there may be some double counting [ie where there is a subdivision of a number that duplicates 188, 189 etc which was used for searching for decades.] This effects Essex [2 over], Oxfordshire [1 over], Somerset [10 over], This should not materially affect the results of the above table as it affects a very small number of objects. In addition Norfolk, Suffolk, Sussex have too few decade specific entries. The Norfolk, Suffolk and Sussex entries are distorted by a collection from SG Hewlett that was probably returned and therefore do not have assigned accession numbers.
