A mate in the trade is desperately seeking anyone, be they contractor, DIYer or householder, who had Town & Country Paving Classic Octagon flagstones laid in between 1990 and 1994. If you have photos, he'll buy them, or if you have an invoice for work done using this particular type of flag, he'd be willing to pay for your dinner if he could take a copy.
Any info at all, in fact, about this open-moulded flagstone would be most welcome. If you can help, contact me by email or 'phone asap.

More info on this burning issue....
Town and Country Paving Ltd. were a wet-cast flag manufacturer based in West Sussex around 15 years ago. They are NOT the same company as the PIC outfit based in Manchester/Stockport with a very similar name.
They were the first company in Britain to introduce an octagonal paving system, and, as always seems to happen, as soon as one company has a good idea, every other burgher jumps on the bandwagon and now more or less every manufacturer worth their salt has an octagonal system in their portfolio.
This image, taken from an old catalogue (hence the 'fold line' in the centre), depicts the Olde London Classic Octagon with a Tile-on-Edge border and dates from around 1992. The previous owners of the company would be delighted to hear from anyone who specified, laid or had this feature installed in between 1992 and 1995, particularly if they have documentary evidence, such as quotations, invoices or photographs that can substantiate the date.
If you can help, post back to this thread, email me at the usual address or give me a call and I'll put you in touch with the appropriate people.
