I recently found a Bristol 1811 token & reading your post has urged me to find out more about it.

Interesting that Steve, wonder what they could have bought for 3d then? Would have been quite a trip for someone then and maybe kept as a souvenir, we will never know.
Nice to be able to follow the history up on a find too!
