EDIT another possibility is reconing but that might be more expensive than it is worth, especially if you fix one then find the other also needs doing soon after.
Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
I haven’t checked the other one yet but Im sure the 40 year old foam will be on the way out.
Thanks for the suggestions. Both speakers need surrounds. Found foam surrounds in Germany on e-bay, pretty expensive but at least it's for the right speaker, with glue and instructions (though probably in German).

But there are much much cheaper 8 inch foam surrounds out there, but I don't know if they would fit my speakers, are they all a standard size or do different speakers need specific surrounds? This world is new to me and a minefield!

I'm not sure that these would fit, but check anyway:-

I knew of a place in London which refurbishes old Celestion Ditton (44, 25, 66), speakers to their former glory. Unfortunately, I don't have their contact details.
They are in Caterham, Surrey.
Check under the Servicing tab for speaker repairs.
Thanks @rocktron they have quoted £80 -100 to refoam both speakers. I will think about it, but I might give it a go myself as there at plenty of videos on youtube. If it goes wrong I could still send them to retrotech or get new speakers (which would be cheaper). I don't know if these speakers sound much better or different to modern speakers therefore worth keeping?
