Thanks Doug. Oh the extras were just in case anyone wanted to know the
minutae: where Larkin lived in Leicester, for instance, is in public
record (his letters have the address) but it doesn't mean that
everyone here would know it.
The building is a legal-cum-insurance outfit's offices now and you can
walk past and see that narrow attic window, the view he liked so much.
And, boy, is it narrow!
Best
Dave
