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,
David,
Fairly warm but damp England
