164 This judgement is based upon the diary, various recollections, and the press reports and internal Conservative Party papers relating to the North Newcastle troubles of 1947–51; whilst Headlam's age is a barrier to being the candidate again in 1951, it is clear that he remained effective in private meetings and at public occasions.

199 The diaries form the heart of the collection, with the main series consisting of 37 volumes for 1910–1915, 1919–45 and 1947–51, listed as D/He 9–46; the wartime gap is covered by the other substantial deposit of Cuthbert's regular letters to Beatrice, D/He 137–182. The remainder of the collection, including two further small deposits added in 1987 and 1989, consists of appointment diaries, press cuttings, photographs, ephemera, congratulatory letters and some general correspondence.
