This is truly amazing, John, well done and thanks for posting.

It’s amazing what turns up and where. We live in a 3 bed 1950s house on the outskirts of Oxford, which had just one previous owner who was an eminent physicist at the university, but who went off the rails and became a recluse in his later years until he died alone and in squalor about 30 years ago. He sounded a fascinating chap but other than snippets of information gleaned from elderly neighbours, I could find out little about him.

Then I Googled his name again recently, and learned that someone had fished a suitcase full of his diaries, photos and letters out of a skip somewhere in the suburbs of London!
