Morning Will

Thank you for the email.

Yes, all is well. The archive is fully re-located in Howden now with Kate and Adrian taking great care of it all up there.

It seems it’s done a lap of honour over the years, starting out in London and then up to Howden, down to Nottingham and now back to Howden.

And the last couple of years has seen some fantastic pictures being digitised for the first time and put on the site.

As a suggestion for the PPHP please find the attached preview images you may wish to use – The day Macca visited the archive in 1968. Not much of a caption that relates to the staff in the photos, or the reason for his visit however.
