Talk by Frederick Pope
For many years the speaker has collected newspaper cuttings and pictures of places. When the places are unnamed and are in or around London he sometimes goes out to track them down; sometimes he is only able to travel in imagination. But his hobby has provided him with an innocent and exciting form of detection and with much out-of-the-way knowledge.
