SELWYN FROM THE HILLS TO THE SEA BY ELLESMERE CAMERA CLUB

The book "Selwyn From the Hills to the Sea" published by the Ellesmere Camera Club in 1999 has a section on Sheffield/ Springfield and on page 202 says:

"Sheffield was home to a Yorkshire miner, John JEBSON, who recognised good coal when he saw it and who began to mine it and transport it to Christchurch for sale. The province had relied on coal from Australia and England originally, making it both difficult and expensive to obtain, so its discovery in Canterbury at several sites in the foothills was a godsend. The quality of the coal from the Malvern Hills was favourably received and a thriving trade established. JEBSON's son ran a drapery shop in Sheffield and back loaded the coal dray with goods for his shop benefiting both operations."

For another person with a connection to the blacksmith in Kirwee, there is a photograph on page 103 of this book of DRUMMOND and Sons General Blacksmiths premises in Kirwee.
