Typewriters have been the center of my life since I was 16 years old.

I can walk down Skipton main street and find a good story.

I’ve been a secretary, a journalist, worked for magazines such as The Yorkshire Post, Country Life, etc.

So when I saw  this typewriter dated 1914-1918 I bought it for £50 and repaired for another £50.
