I have heard from two sources that the only "jobbing" lens workshop in the UK has gone into liquidation. Does anyone else have further information? Although I have never used them, it seems sad that the various grinding and polishing equipment and the associated skilled craftsmen may be lost for ever.
Indeed it is true:
