Writer G. H. Diggle, during his stint in my hometown Luton was the bank manager Lloyds bank in the late 30s. It’s still in the same place and is the bank I use. One of his playing partners was also one of mine, a Mr. Nigel Staddon, and columnist Tom Sweby knew him very well indeed as they were good friends for decades.
I do know that he used to shop at the Sainsburys in the town cetnre, which was only about 50m from Lloyds Bank. I came across a picture of it the other day and thought I would post it here. It’s to the right, the darker building. Next to it is the Carnegie Library, one can only assume he went there also.
