Bodmin Naval Prison buttons
Good evening
Not really my area of collecting, but I was recently offered these so decided they'd be of use somewhere along the line: Jacket and cuff button from the former Bodmin Naval Prison which was located in a wing of Bodmin Goal between 1887 and 1922 - they are KC so date from c.1901 until 1922 - and are both made by Firmin. Bodmin Jail was situated on the edge of Bodmin Moor and the building still stands today: https://www.google.co.uk/…/@50.47485.../data=!3m1!1e3 Hope they are of interest Graham
