Scientific paper

William Andrews (1835 - 1914) lived and worked for most of his life in Coventry in the silk weaving industry. He kept a diary from 1850 onwards, in which he records his astronomical observations made either with the naked eye or by using a small telescope. As far as is known, he never made contact with any other astronomers and so his record is important historically because it illustrates that, even in the mid-19th century, there existed a section of the community which, although not making its mark in the annals of that period, was very interested in what was happening in the heavens.
