Flookersbrook: Difference between revisions

In March 1882 a certain "G.T." recalled the coming of the railway to Flookersbrook. Flookersbrook Bridge was in those days a picturesque brick structure and nearby stood a small cottage whose tennant and owner was a shoemaker. The shoemaker steadfastly removed to move out even when as act was passed for compulsory purchase. G.T. informs us that he watched what happened next with another schoolboy as recalled in the extract on the left. The "Sheaf" mentions the person in charge of the eviction was [[Robert Lewis Jones]].
