just a small but interesting development ,as i was handling the helmet i noticed inside was a white issue label ,how i missed it the first time round i dont know,im now wondering if i can trace the owner in someway or at least find out who it was issued too

A good bonus there James, and a cracking lid. I also saw a senior officer version of one of these recently but did not buy it, though the price seemed OK.

it sure was jerry the first issue label in my whole collection so you can imagine my excitement when i spotted itin 2015 i should definately go to specsavers

Nice label, not much down Albion Rd apart from houses, but one church & what looks like a church hall. That might have been the ARP offices.

No, just Google Street view, but obviously things might have changed.

As I'm only a stones throw away from that address!!!! I'll add my 2 cents worth!!! opposite the old church (now developed into flats by the way)...is the site for the Royal Navy's "T.S. Brilliant" which I would imagine would be an ideal candidate for wartime use as ARP offices!!!
