Diary reunited with Essex owner after 50 years
A teenage diary from 1975 has been reunited with its Essex owner after being discovered by builders and saved from being thrown into a skip.
The book was found during renovations in East London, but its author was tracked down through social media.
As Henry Godfrey-Evans explains, there were more surprises to come.
