Dear estate agents/auctioneers, vendors, if you are clearing out old solicitor’s offices, please contact county archives or local history societies before you skip irreplaceable archives. I just heard that two skips containing boxes of archival material ended up in landfill.

We trekked and picked until the cans were full, Until the tinkling bottom had been covered With green ones, and on top big dark blobs burned Like a plate of eyes. Our hands were peppered With thorn pricks, our palms sticky as Bluebeard's. Blackberry-Picking, Seamus Heaney
