In January 1912, 3,600 feet of Oak from Mad Bess Wood was auctioned, after an auction for 11,000 feet of timber from the Breakspeare Estate.
Sorry, the scanned copy available online isn’t very good, an enlarged version can be viewed here, but that doesn’t really make the text any more legible. A copy of the magazine (see below) in which the advert appears, is available at The British Library Newspaper Collection in Collindale, North London.
The Timber Trades Journal and Sawmill Advertiser, January 20, 1912.
