As well as being a post master, Nathan Ball was a keen amateur local historian, writing, amongst other things, a history of Codnor Castle, which was serialised many years ago in the Society's newsletters.

Mr Ball would have been an educated man of some standing in the community to have such a position at that time.

Reading Philfred's account of the finding of the Roman Coins, as discribed in 1895, (Shipley Page) is this the same Nathan Ball, or his son, Nathan, who ran the 1891 Heanor Post Office in the 1891 Census?
It still seems the Post Office provided a good income for the Family at that time. But then again, 19 Roman coins in his possession..........
