Two memoirs of Richard Scott's work at the Guardian as a journalist in the 1940s. They provide a description of how Richard Scott started his career at the Guardian and describe his work in the Guardian offices in London including details of the move to Gray's Inn Road when the Guardian's headquarters moved from Manchester to London. The accounts refer to several other Guardian journalists including: James Bone; Evelyn Montague; Harry Boardman; Francis Boyd; Richard Fry; Walter Scott; Stanley Baker; Harry Jackson; Darsie Gillie; Louis Blom-Cooper, James Monachan; Philip Hope Wallace; Victor Zorza, Leonard Beaton; John Beavan; and Gerard Fay. The memoirs also describe the work of the copy-takers and the copy-boys.
