We would like to thank many people who have made all of this possible:

Catherine Dixon, who helped with the writing and editing, though all mistakes are ours.
Bob Richardson and all the staff and volunteers at St Bride Library, past and present, who have been so helpful over the years.
David Pearson, who has been a constant user and supporter of these faces.
