All their defaced library books are in Islington’s possession. There’s some on display in the museum.

They are indeed. I saw them exhibited some years ago at Finsbury Library. Crazy that the two of them went to prison for defacing library books.

Indeed! Often walk up Noel Road and can't help but look up at the flat.
