I am from the Walthamstow Community Video Workshop and we are making a short video about two women from East London, one of whom worked at Bush, Boake, Allen. We would be very grateful for permission to use a short segment of your video (about ten seconds) to show where she worked. Please let me know if you have any objections. Thanks! Sarah
