This rather grainy picture appeared in the New Musical Express (16th August 1980).
It shows the late socialist historian and peace campaigner in his office at Wick Episcopi on the outskirts of Worcester.
Notable are an (now old fashioned) dial telephone and a type writer. There is of course no PC or printer or any kind of electronic device. Papers are piled on the desk and strewn on the floor.
This is how history was written in what might be called the pre-electronic days of 45 years ago. Whether the age of the laptop has produced better history…..
