Nottingham Industrial Museum is one of my favourite places to visit. The museum itself is fascinating, it`s located within the grounds of Wollaton Park and there is a very good chip shop nearby.
On my most recent visit I had a quick look at the second hand book stall and was fortunate enough to pick up these fine items, IIRC for about 50p each.
I`ve read a small number of the early science fiction titles. They seem a mixed bag, with a tale by Grant Allen being the front runner so far.
Richard H Davis, a new name to me, was a popular and prolific author of the late 19th/early 20th century, though not primarily known for crime fiction. In the Fog, a story-within-a-story, was first published in 1901 and was made into a film in 1911. It may be a while before I get round to reading it, but I`ll get there !
