Hi everyone,

Today I went to Scolton Manor in Pembrokeshire, South Wales - a great day out if you like Victorian things. On a few posters around the site we saw the abbreviation of BOTOF. It was always with reference to a company name i.e. BOTOF Davies and Smythe and the T was disaplayed in a superscript font (smaller and higher than the other letters) with a dot underneath it. We meant to ask one of the stewards what this meant but we got sidetracked and completely forgot. Can anyone here shed some light on the meaning of this abbreviation? I've looked in our dictionary and scoured the net but cannot turn up any reference to it anywhere.

Regards.
