OUR UNUSUAL NEIGHBOURS AND LOCAL HISTORY IN SURREY - CHEAM, EPSOM, SUTTON, WEYBRIDGE & WALLINGTON
Few people living in Surrey really know their neighbours but how would you know your neighbour if he or she worked for MI6? Most who knew Bill Fairclough didn’t have a clue that from the seventies he was a secret agent (MI6 codename JJ) working for various intelligence agencies. What’s more they had no idea he was following in his parents’ footsteps. So if you lived, worked in or visited any of these places you may well have unwittingly encountered Fairclough and his colleagues, been their neighbours or inhabited the houses they lived in. A quick web-search will even disclose some of the addresses where they lived. Mind you, if you live in any of them now, best sweep them for bugs!
Details including some full addresses of where Bill Fairclough et al lived and worked are given in most of Bill Fairclough’s bios on the web such as can be found at everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/bill-fairclough. If you were as fascinated as we were, you can also read the raw fact based thriller Beyond Enkription, the first stand-alone novel to be released in The Burlington Files series (theburlingtonfiles.org/#/reviews). It’s a memorable and distinctively different noir espionage thriller based on his and his family’s experiences in 1974 and he still seems to be operational as Boris Johnson and Dominic Cummings might have noticed (theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2021.07.21.php).
