In November 2008 Terry Robinson sent HMSOldies an article entitled ’92 years with HMSO Presses’ which told the story of the Robinson family’s involvement with HMSO.
In January 2017 we received a note from Diane Buck, from the Hansard Writing Team, expressing interest in the article – especially the item involving Walter ‘Robbie’ Robinson and his recollections of Pocock Street during the World War Two blitz. Following consultation, we readily gave Ms Buck permission to use the item in their forthcoming publication. Dave Burchell added further information, and the process began.
This month – July 2018- we were pleased to receive through the post, from Ms Buck, two copies of the most interesting and well-produced publication. The attached extracts show that Walter’s piece was prominently displayed. HMSOldies even had the honour of an acknowledgement!
I will make a copy available at any future HMSOldies meetings and to anyone with a local interest – as Luke Hansard was originally a ‘Norwich boy.’ I know that Terry Robinson has also been sent a copy.
