Monday
Quiet night, and a brilliant,
cold morning. While thinking about
Wisbech last night, realised that I had seen some very fine and very old
photographs of the place in the National Buildings Record at Oxford . Unless the whole town has been pulled down to
the ground then it must be a very attractive place. In the early hours of this morning, decided
to apply, and shall go over and see the place on Friday. As soon as I got up, wrote a letter to that
effect and posted it in Colchester .
An alarm tonight from 7.10pm to 8.15, but
nothing happened.
Poulter told me today that Orchard [the Borough Engineer] had
charged £143 for repairing the little “temple” on the Ramparts, which I and
Sissons saved from destruction. This is
sheer spite.
There is now a “dim out” in Colchester , and windows give a faint glow for the first
time for more than 5 years. Nobody seems
to mind streams of light pouring out of doorways, either.
