Found in the Dell
Ok, so maybe not buried treasure! However we found this badge buried on the slopes and Gill took it home and cleaned it. We were wondering if anyone knew what SPGS stood for (St Pauls/St Peters Girls School?) and whether there was a history of archery practice in the Dell. Archery was a very popular Victorian pastime and the grassed area outside what was the bird/pet cages in the Jephsons Gardens was used as a practice area.
We'd love to hear from you, if you have any clues.
