Cones on the line
South East Water will be attempting to set up cones along this section of The Street outside Kent Cottage and the Chimney House in the early evening of Thursday 3rd November. This will allow them to dig up the road on Friday 4th November and replace a failed external stopcock. Last time they attempted this work, a couple of weeks ago, someone moved their cones and the contractors were not able to proceed.
Rare Book Department
In addition to the eBay copy pictured above, Amazon currently has a couple of copies listed, albeit one at twice the price. Essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the parish prior to about 1850.
