The Society would be interested to learn of the existence of any other examples of its use e.g. as a letterhead, in publications or even on a celebration mug or local medals?
===Titherington's Crime
see note <ref>note added by Peter Elliott</ref>
Dee Hills at Boughton was developed in 1850s when William Titherington, the owner of a 10 acre estate there, broke up his land to build Sandown Terrace, three Italianate houses and Deva Terrace. In 1873 Dee Hill had extensive grounds with pleasure gardens above the river and a tree-lined drive from The Bars, flanked by paddocks to the north and allotment gardens to the south-east. More estate land was being sold for development and in the 1880s Beaconsfield Terrace had been built on the northern part of this land. The drive was now named Dee Hills Park and was lined with larger houses, including the largest: Uffington House, built for Thomas Hughes (the author of "Tom Brown's Schooldays"). By 1892 Dee Hills House and the remaining gardens had been sold to the government and was being used as the residence of the Army’s district commander.

The Society would welcome further exploration into this potential "dark side" of the history of Hoole and Boughton.
