Hi Linda and everyone Nice to see this exhibit mentioned again. The volunteers at Charnwood Museum who developed the display have published a really nice booklet to go along with it (thanks to Jane Partridge for the lead!), worth getting even if one cannot visit the exhibit. The exhibit will be shown elsewhere, after its current installation - at Donington-le-Heath Manor House and then 'The Record Office' (UK locations, and I don't know exact addresses) through April 2008. I could not find immediately a link to where the booklet can be purchased. I bought my copy direct from a volunteer; if anyone is interested please contact me privately that I can pass along their contact details
