The Case Given to Martin by Lena
When the author Martin Knight meet Lena Bamber, who was a very good friend of Joan Woodhouse, she gave him an attache case which contained a collection of numerous items related to the murder and of Joan’s life.
Letters, photos, books and press clippings; it was a treasure trove of ephemera and represented the hopes and fears Joan’s family had of bringing somebody to justice for her murder.
With the permission of the family. We want to share with you just a few of the items in the case. We hope they will help you understand the investigation more and will be of interest as historical documents to archivists and those wanting to know more about UK life in the late 1940’s.
