London Day 2

 
The Day Started off great - I found the Chapel called St John the Martyr - this where:
 Rosina Emily Mary Burrridge - 1869 was born and lived.
John Sayce - of 1789 Lived
Numerous Etherton around the 1850's to 1870's
And of Course Wright Gundy Iggulden ( Harrys Brother) was Baptised.
34 known Ancestor went to this chapel
And I stumbled across it walking into London..
Then back to Borough Market. to really check it out.
Great food that opens early and closes really Late.

 It was not just British food it is European food fresh and ready to take away.






This was my kind of Market - I got a Venison and Blue Chesse Pie.
YUMMY.
They I cut down to the Thames Escarpment  

 Walking Past the Globe Theater as I took Pictures of the Millennium Bridge
But the Bridge was beautifull
 They don't tell you but as you cross it you see St Pauls and it just grows as you walk closer.
 St Paul's is beautiful. and I can;t wait to got in, but it costs. So it waits.

After that I made my way to Guild Hall
This is to be my Base when in the City.
 On the way home I passed the "Great Fire of London Monument

 And had a quick look at St Katherine's Docks across  the Road from Tower Bridge
The Thames is a Muddy smelly river that has a City of Wonder either side of it, Another day and still looking for work.

But a church view while you work. dreams are made of this. 100 year old apple trees in the gardens. The church was built in the 1700's But the windows are obviously newer. Their were formal gardens Rose gardens  But it was the productive gardens that got the attention of the tourists.  We stopped for lunch at the usual National Trust Cafe Jennifer got her usual scones and clotted cream, while I enjoyed a stew. The walks were pleasant and enjoyable. The house was a mixed house, it was a old Georgian house that the owner had modernized in the 1860's, then a fire in 1960 pull a whole new twist to it. Once inside we found the house was actually small  and the NT is restoring the upstairs. The dining room was put on display. The

Quarry Bank Mill's, Styal

Quarry Bank's Mill is a Cotton mill that helps start the Industrial Revolution. So first we went through the house where child works would live.

The factory is one that evolved over 200 hundred years from a flour mill to cotton mill Once inside we got to see the process for making cotton. With some of the looms still able to run.
