    Logi's workshop was over a shop in Queens Arcade in Hastings. Anyone know if it's been recognised yet?

      There was a blue plaque there in the eighties/nineties.
      Of course there was also a fire there later on, haven't been back for about ten years so not sure what the state is now.

      Opposite the 'Central' pub, or the 'GI' for those of an older generation.

        There's no blue plaque, but there is a sign on the house he lived in at the top of Box Hill.
