My oldest bear is nameless.

It's a fascinating thing to visit and has some remarkable artefacts, including the original passenger list from the Titanic which has been lent to The Hold by the National Archives.

There was still a typewriter on one of the desks on my first day at Lower Brook Street in Ipswich. It wasn’t in use, but not so long ago that it had been.
