Who Would I Contact? Odd Situation

[joko]

last year i worked in an old house that had been emptied and i assume the owner died.
i found some papers on top of a wardrobe that appeared to be a handwritten 'book' someone was writing.

it appears to be from an employee of hillmans coaches, and later hillmans airways which it seems later became british airways.
there is no name on the pages

it seems to be a memoir sort of thing about his life there, various stories about the owners etc

the writer was old - a child in the 30s - so it has a lot about the past etc

i was wondering if anyone would be interested in this?
who though?
a society?
hillmans no longer seems to exist, and the book, seems to be mostly about Edward Hillman himself - the writer seems to believe he has a unique insight into him
unfortunately i am not sure that it is complete, and he mentions photos, which were not with this manuscript
it isnt very long really - about 10 sides of A4


i am happy to post it to someone that might be interested or somewhere that many want to publish it, rather than throw it in the bin.

any ideas?

Please don't throw it in the bin! Either a local studies section of your library service, or the nearest regional archives, might either accept it into their collections or help you identify an 'even better' recipient. In addition, as Chewn has suggested, there will be people on Ab who can help you find out if there are any descendents of the writer as they ought to be offered first refusal. Or if you find yourself at a loose end, scan it and put it online on flickr so everyone that wants to can see it.

thanks all - dont really want to spend loads of time and effort on it, not going to research his family looking for family etc - i just hoped someone would have an address or name or something i could post it to.

no idea what the writers name is unfortunately

A quick google finds that Edward Hillman was associated with Romford, so you could post it to Romford Library, St Edwards Way, Romford, Greater London RM1 3AR. I am sure they will find it a good home either with themselves or with an archive.
