Excerpts:
HISTORIAN and collector Sadru Bhanji has brought to life the ancient maritime tradition of Topsham.
His Postcards From Topsham Volume Two gives an insight into the history of the ancient estuary town near Exeter.The new book includes a collection of postcards of the town and its surroundings.
Mr Bhanji, 65, was born in Yorkshire, but brought up in Lancashire. He came to the South West in 1977 as consultant psychiatrist to the then South West Regional Health Authority and as senior lecturer in adult mental illness at the University of Exeter.
On retirement in 1992, he took up local history as a hobby on the advice of a friend. Mr Bhanji is now vice-chairman of the Devon and Exeter Institution and treasurer of the Devon History Society and of the Exeter Branch of the Devonshire Association.

Hi Sadru,
This is a long way from M.G.S. and the Cy Laurie Jazz Club!!!
It would be great if you could get in touch after nearly 50 years.
