The original of the Harison diary (AMS6582/1) was brought to Folkington Place in the 1970s by a lady from Brighton whose name was not recorded at the time. She allowed it to be copied, but six openings were missed

The transcript of 'Country Magazine' (AMS6582/3) is not dated, but if 'Josh' Bradford, who says that his age is 55, is the Jocelyn Bradford married at Wilmington on 25 January 1919 at the age of 23 (PAR 510/1/3/2 entry 129), then the programme would have been broadcast in 1950
