Thanks DaisyChains.
I hope to go down to the National Archives (at Kew in Surrey) in the next few months.
Yes, whenever I travel around I always think of the historical significance of the places associated with the case. I bet there are people who know of the case that don't even realise that they could be walking in the footsteps of Wallace. Lister Drive school (in Tuebrook) was where I went to school. When Roger Wilkes wrote his excellent Wallace: The Final Verdict book I was astounded to learn that Richard Gordon Parry, Lily Lloyd and John Parkes all went there as well. It seems so personal to me. My mother was born a stone's throw away from Box 1627 (three years after the murder) and she was christened in Holy Trinity Church.
Regards
Mark
