After the war, Blackburn became an English Literature teacher and worked at the King's School, Rochester 1945-1948 and St. Marylebone Grammar School, 1948-1960. It was during his tenure as English master here that he took an 18 month sabbatical to be the Gregory Fellow in Poetry at Leeds University.

The documents in this subfonds chart this career and the publications that came from it, and provide insights into Blackburn's professional character.
