The message found was signed by a man named E.C. Pearce who bought the property for £3k on a £5 mortgage while earning 65p an hour
A couple have been left baffled after uncovering a 52-year-old note hidden behind the fireplace in their home by a previous owner in 1971. The message was signed by a man named E.C. Pearce, who claimed he was 37 years old at the time of the writing and had just purchased the property for £3,000.
"My wage at present is 65p per hour and I go to a Sunday market to make a few bob extra, aged 37 years. Hope you find this interesting. E.C. Pearce". "So it was lovely to find that someone else had already done it. When we moved in there was a not very pretty fireplace where someone had clearly once had a gas fire or something. It was empty, so we decided to do something with it - maybe to put a wood burner or something in there. We took the surround off initially and then realised that we needed to actually dig out the fireplace a bit more.
