About
Light Straw UK
L i g h t s t r a w  UK

An amalgam of specialised history sites of observations, recollections and threads of information making sense of the past.

Domains include Fynevue, My GPO Family, and Lightstraw derivations edited by John Chenery. The GPO/Clocksystems pages are authored by Simon Taylor.
All domains here are operated with an SSL security (padlock) certificate, and should default to https:// for safe data exchange/browsing.

Photo galleries with the Juicebox javascript may not currently display due to licensing/software, which is to be due checked in June 2021.

Links to YouTube videos may change subject to the vagaries of the content owners and platform rules. Watch at your own risk.

Audio clips should play as mp3 sound files, subject to supporting browsers. Some wav files still remain on the server.

Hyperlinks to other sites are provided to enhance your information experience, but external content may change, and was last checked at [stated page dates]. Visit these external sites at your own risk.

GDPR: Necessary data is collected directly from PayPal or manually to process your order, if you purchase books from me via MyGPOFamily or by Facebook/Messenger/E-mail. Data may be held locally for future e-mailing of new book titles. It will not be passed to any third parties, or stored on the internet.
