Email from my former colleague Louisa Sinclair, now editor of WembleyOnline:
TO:Amanda Bailey
DATE:4 July 2021
SUBJECT:Re: The Alperton Angels
FROM:Louisa Sinclair
Hi Mandy,
Remember the days when a junior would cut out and scrapbook newsarticles so we had a library by subject rather than date? Really useful in future when researching old cases. Well, we’d long since abandoned all that in 2003.
Had to come in on a Sunday anyway, so mined our digital archives and have an envelope of printouts. You’ll have found most things online, but these include spiked pieces that never made the paper for one reason or another.
Drop in tomorrow at 1 p.m. and we’ll chat about the old days. Only for 15 minutes, mind. There’s an editorial meeting at 1.30 p.m. and the queues in Pret are biblical.
Louisa Sinclair
