Thanks to Margaret Chamberlain for the information. It is about the history of Birmingham, but no idea where else I might put it:

Last week, Marcia Lewis, daughter of Cluedo creators Anthony and Elva Pratt, donated a treasure trove of items to Birmingham Archives and Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.

From vintage games to personal letters and photos, the collection showcases the game’s origins from being invented in 1940s Kings Heath to becoming a global who-dunnit phenomenon.
Thank you Marcia for this important deposit.
