It's a 1937 <br />WW2 RAF CANVAS BEDROLL (SLEEPING BAG) with Thomas Briggs, London Maker stamped on it. Thought it may be of interest for you.

I am due back next week and can send you pics of the history that is around the building. I find it fascinating.

The body, still alive, but unconscious, was found on the tracks between Bow and Hackney Wick (Victoria Park) stations and carried to the Mitford Castle pub (now renamed The Top O' The Morning), while a surgeon was called. Mr Briggs was subsequently carried home to no. 5, Clapton Square, where he died the following day without recovering consciousness. I found your blog whilst looking for a possible family connexion with Thomas Briggs the tentmakers.Nick Fordnoreply@blogger.com
