Plucked from the recycling bin of history

I've just discovered the By Elections Blog's main British Parliamentary By Elections site which has not just results from all the by-elections since 1945 but election literature from many of them. I'm sure everyone can find things to interest them there, but I quite like this leaflet from a young Bill Rodgers in the 1962 Stockton by-election that included 'A word from Mrs. Rodgers' and remembering the high and low points of the continuity SDP - running William Hague close in Richmond in 1989 and then coming below the Monster Raving Loonies in Bootle a year later. So, a useful resource, and an interesting way to waste hours by looking at the early days of the by-election victors who went on to greater things, wondering 'where are they now?' about some of the winners and 'what were they thinking?' about some of the minor candidates, like the nine days wonder that was the Earl of Burford's political prominence.
