[The upper section below was first launched as a section of a Temporary page on 31.07.12. The middle & lower sections were first launched on 11.04.08 as Draft page 'Horton02'. They were all moved here after review led to acceptance that there was little chance of our making a significant improvement to them in the near future and that they were 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database.]
