London Day 3







St James in Bermondsey is not far from where I'm staying, Jessis Burrigde was Baptised here in 1748.
The Burridges didn't live far away form it. Unfortunately the 1871 Census does not show the address clearly. 

Then onto St Botolph without Aldgate, this was again and beautiful church but I could not get in. 
Alice Pannifer - 1833 was Baptised here, 
Sarah Catling in 1822 was Buried here,
Edward Goulson was Married here to Ann Williams 
in 1796,
and Robert Etherton lived around here in 1850-1860.
I plan to go back to see if I can get in.

 Across London are numerous eat places, Basically they are European Fast Food, great healthy fast food like this one called EAT. . They blow McDonalds for six. The food is high quality and low fat.
Lunch was Egg Hot Pot with Greek Cheese, Chilies and herds.



 Of course as I walked to my next interview (which was cancelled at short notice) I passed the
Leadehall tower, but you need to keep your eye out for the little churches tucked away in the side street liek this in St Michaels Street.
 But also the views in the shop windows, this is an Italian Cafe ( that's I was to be taken too on  following Monday) that was row upon row of Fantastic looking European Hams.

Then back to Bank Station.

 Then making a Bee line up Guild Hall Library. in the basement of it is the City Business Library, this is my Base while in London.
After I had cleaned up my emails and Made my Calls 
(Yes Looking for Work is my Priority)

I went for a walk up to the north of Guild Hall and found London Wall


 And then the London Museum








Oh Jennifer would have loved it, Generally too Dark to dark Photo's and they ask you not to use your flash.
 On my walk I found the church of Bartholomew the Great.
Cute church again in a back alley.


Time to head home, so cut back past St Pauls.
for the Millennium Bridge

Past the Monument for the Firefighters during the Blitz
 Past the Globe Theater 
and onto Borough Market for Duck Confit for Dinner

Hinton Ampner - A Garden with a House

Hinton Ampner  is a house in East Sussex that we decide to visit to get out into the country side and check out a garden Their was a beautiful productive garden that was in need of a lot of 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 tour guide was all dressed up and  knew her stuff answering any question that was given to her. The house is where 90 children 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. Two were running to meet the demand of the  National Trust Shops they supplied. These were the small ones produce cotton about 1 yard wide. The Bobbin setter was for the line threading of the fabric. The is the Bobbin roller with cotton thread on it. In this room upto60 looms would have been going, non-stop. This is the end result of the carding machines. The mile in its prime would produce 30 miles on Cotton Fabric every day. The Large Factory was first built h
