The so far continued existence and preservation of the Park has been the result of the work of people who gave of themselves and their lives. Shame on the "bean counters" and those of their ilk who would try to shove then aside...

You contact a long standing company in the USA and they haven't a clue what they made a hundred years ago, or fifty years ago, or even twenty years ago in anything but the most general way, but I always thought, perhaps mistakenly, that one could find records of what some British company made two hundred years ago without much effort. It must be the Union Jack colored glasses I've worn.
