I am stumped where to post this thread.
I have a small autograph book (1926) which was my mother's when she started training in the GPO. Lots of rhymes, poems etc & drawings- very typical of the era. I don't know any of the people and am loathe to just ditch it. (Its not local to the area where I live so no point offering it to local museum)
If anyone can make use of it please PM me.

Is it worth offering to the local museum of the area where your mum used to live?
Or writing to that local paper to offer it?Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Yes, I had thought of that but wouldn't know where to start looking for local papers / museums in Catford/Lewisham area. Never knew that area, or City of London where she trained.
I mean autographs of Welsh miners at the Albert Hall- clearly a labour party rally - or similar!
Theres so much junk in my house what's one bit more? except it is bugging me!Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

Ah, but I know Lewisham and Catford - not well, because they've moved all the roads since I lived near ...
Lewisham Mercury - it's part of a wider group of papers so the
LB Lewisham - not sure where local history 'lives'.
I think Catford would come under Lewisham.Signature removed for peace of mind0
