Fame at past!

The NUJ's Headland House headquarters boasts a small library among its other facilities.

And guess what, all three luminaries reveal that they have been practicing freelance journalists, although George Orwell's application probably stems from his appointment just two weeks previously as Literary Editor at Tribune.
