L.C.C
[edit]LCC clearly refers to the London County Council.--Grahame (talk) 04:14, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Grahamec, this list of local authorities gives various places that could be abbreviated to L.C.C. Llewee (talk) 07:45, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, but the London County Council was a very important institution in the mid 20th century and it is well known that large numbers of children were evacuated from the East End and other parts of London during the war.--Grahame (talk) 07:49, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- The London County Council was also well known under the LCC initials, while the other bodies weren't.--Grahame (talk) 08:00, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- But its not a question of what the general public is familiar with. The quote is from a text written at the time by a specialist written for a professional audience. On the balance of probabilities it probably refers to London but it doesn't seem implausible it could refer to somewhere else. Llewee (talk) 08:04, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
- I will change the footnote to "probably London County Council" but leave the abbreviation in the quote unlinked. Llewee (talk) 08:23, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
