Gosh. I am seriously impressed.
I will always be grateful to the former conservator at Hackney, the late Jacqueline Bradshaw price for entertaining my children on the rare occasions I needed to bring them in for short periods. When I had to come in for an emergency call out from the fire brigade to deal with water ingress to the strong room - and with no other staff member present - I had to restrain my son from causing minor mayhem with searchroom leaflets and document supports.
Both children have great careers beckoning - but not in heritage....
