Where exactly did you access the transcription of the interview? Was it on SEAX?

An email or letter to Joanna Killian (the CEO of Essex County Council) stating the same may just help the Essex Record Office stay open at normal hours and keep getting funds for its digitisation projects of both paper / parchment and sound / video archives.
