Records Office
Having moaned about the IT service in this town (whose name used to begin with a G but no longer does), now let me enthuse about the Local Records Office
If you have never indulged in archives and records then you must do it now. They are treasure beyond anything you might find in a Pyramid. More than that, you will be joining a free club of the nicest most helpful people on the planet. I spent the afternoon going through old maps of the town about which I am writing. It was just heaven.
The Parish record in 1580 admonished the vicar for taking too many fish from the catch of the fisherman. and so on.. I cannot give the secrets away..
