I have been quiet on here lately but working a lot on my Corri project. I have been really enjoying all their lodgings and work-relatedocations to Google maps. Helps me visualise all of the places they went in Edinburgh!

Are any of the lovely people here going to the London Archives soon and could snap a couple of photos of sources for me? I'm in Glasgow with a newborn so can't make it to London at the moment.

It's the final day of
