Move upright piano, Bridport to Oakley

Claire, 
  Just a note to say thankyou to you and the guys who facilitated the move of our family piano from Bridport to Oakley. 
The piano was bought new by my Great Grandad in about 1890 in Hebden Bridge Yorkshire. He passed it down to his son, my Grandad, Clem Lawton who was a member of the Jack Hylton band throughout the 1930s. It passed to his son, my Dad in 1961 in Mitcham London and it moved throughout the country and Europe with us as my dad was in the Army. I learned to play from age 6 and attained grade 8 at 16. I now live in France and have a piano so my daughter now has it to learn on. 
It has almost no monetary value but as you can see from the above, massive sentimental value.
Thanks again. 
Andy
