In addition to the above.

I recently bought a portfolio containing paintings, sketches, photos, and personal papers all relating to a Leslie Hinchcliffe Nixon, who died at Downholland, Ormskirk, Lancs, on 12th May 1964, aged 52 yrs.

Mr Nixon was evidently an art teacher in Liverpool, and served in the RAF during WWII.
