Went to Salamanca Market yesterday & came across author James Boyce selling his books, including Imperial Mud, The Fight for the Fens. I think he was a little surprised to be chatting to someone in Hobart who actually knew of *and* had lived in the #Fens - specifically #Wisbech, before moving to AU
@glightly a rather different #roseParade to the one in #Wisbech most Julys!
@ChrisMayLA6 People around #KingsLynn and #Wisbech will be worried that the #CrumblingConcrete #QEHospital rebuild will stall again now that the Wisbech MP is not health minister. #Sunak has delayed it before.
#Fenland #PlanningApplication #FYR220844O #Wisbech off Stow Road. Cambridgeshire CoCo still asking good questions. #KLWNBUG should make similar objections. This could be a useful new route to/from the Smeeth but this development will also turn the #A47 Broadend Road crossroads into a roundabout which could be good or bad #space4cycling
This is the Wisbech & Fenland Museum in Wisbech in the Isle of Ely. It is one of the oldest purpose-built museums in Britain. It was founded in 1835 and moved to its present then-new building in 1847. While the focus of the museum’s collection is the local history of #Wisbech and the surrounding #Fens, it does contain one item of national or even international significance, the original manuscript of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. #IsleOfEly #Cambridgeshire #dwprovincialbritain
