An envelope sent from Australia to the Bagnoli Refugee Camp in Italy in 1949. This post-WW2 refugee - or Displaced Persons - camp was near Naples in Italy and was used as a transit centre for refugees en route to many parts of the world. The camp resembled a small town, with huts for the residents as well as some amenities such as a sports field and a library. However, conditions were not always good, with a serious epidemic of measles in 1949.

High water marks beside the doorway to St Margaret’s Church, King’s Lynn Minster. They show the levels the flood waters reached on the church fabric in various years.
