NEWSPAPER & JAYNE

When Jayne and Nick moved into their new flat in 2008 they had to replace some of the old floorboards, pulling them up they found that uneven areas had been packed out with newspapers. The papers revealed the year that the work had been done, Coronation year, 1952. Smiling back at them from a hole in the floor was a young Queen Elizabeth II in perfectly preserved colour. Before replacing the boards they inserted a newspaper from the day they’d moved in.
