Port sale
Not worthy of comment in the main article, but perhaps of interest to a passing researcher, might be an entry in the minute book of the Trusts and General Superintendence Committee of the Clothworkers’ Company, on 27 October 1961: “An offer by the Lord Mayor (Alderman Sir Bernard Waley-Cohen) to sell to the Company some old Port which is surplus to his requirements (103 bottles of Graham 1935 and 85 bottles of Croft 1935) was considered. Enquiries have been made of the Company's wine merchants (who have no available stock of either vintage) regarding price, and the Committee recommend the purchase of both vintages offered by the Lord Mayor at a cost of not exceeding 480/- per dozen”.
