On the left we have a pair of scissors, which were apparently my great grandfather's. William Burke Hazelton (1883-1965) was a barber and had a shop at 454 Corporation Road in Newport until at least 1946 (see here). It is currently a beauty salon, it seems. The other item is an 1824 edition of A Key to Lennie's Grammar. It is an answer book to a popular text book of the time by a Scotsman called William Lennie (1779-1852). Not sure where it came from but it has hung about the house a while. Such books can fetcch up to £60 but this one is not in great condition.
