For those interested: Edmund Gillingwater, a native of the small town of 
Lowestoft in eastern England, published the definitive history of his town 
(and the near civil war with neighbouring Yarmouth) in 1790.  Considerable 
changes occured in the 1860's with the coming of the railway and A. E. 
Murton, also a Lowestoft native, added a chapter to bring events upto 
1897.  Murton's text has slight variations from Gillingwater's, but 
nothing that makes a great deal of different.

All the best,
