Comments as requested

Apart from the sentence beginning "The GPO detectives had a periscope mirror", which I didn't understand at all, it all seems fine to me. Tim riley talk 07:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wonderful. Thank you! - SchroCat (talk) 08:35, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apols: two more points:

"The letters continued to be delivered, including by Gooding's husband". He received rather than delivered his letters presumably, so perhaps "...continued to be received..."?
"The Swans moved house away from Western Road" - shouldn't this be "The Goodings..."? Tim riley talk 11:10, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Lovely - thanks for catching those. - SchroCat (talk) 11:23, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
