Some additional materials

I have recently been contacted by Tom Pickard, who is working with the Poetry Foundation in Chicago on an exhibition about poetry in the north east of the UK.

 He wanted versions of the photographs with a higher resolution than that of this blog, so I hunted out the box in which the original material lay. It had aged. The paper was always thin - now it's going 'crispy' at the edges, and the ring reinforcements have started to drop off. So I thought the best thing would be to scan the whole volume, including the fading typed text, and then select the photographs of interest from those scans.

Having done it, I thought, why not make this publicly available, so researchers and poetry lovers can use it as they wish ? There is just one reason - my father's attitude to women, which doesn't really  pass muster these days. But that is history.

Here is the original 'book' : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ZEk22ljBoRgvQeUaKzxacIdaCLBm9OBP  

The higher resolution photographs can be made available to anyone interested. Please contact jeremyowenjames@gmail.com 

I have also found a draft version of the book. There are more pictures and fewer pages of text, but there may be material of interest there too. Another post will provide a link to that.
