An interesting discovery was made at St Nicolas Church when the 1881 wood panelling was removed to allow work on the walls near the Blacknall’s monument.

Revealed was a wall painting of coronets with leaves. The question now is whether they should be covered up again or kept on permanent display. It is not known when they date from but they are old enough to matter to local historians.

Today Outdoor Traders opens on the High Street. This picture was taken the evening before – last minute preparations were being made inside.

Not much to report. I think the flats are getting worked on inside. Outside the path was dug up, and those pictures, that once decorated the hoardings, have reappeared as window recesses. Possible October Opening.

This pigeon has got the best roost in town.

This Pigeon hangs out at the railings on Wilsham Road near where humankind throw bread to the ducks.

This Pigeon has taken to the other bank where there are new rich pickings. Over there, the caravan club of Great Britain eat outdoors.
