by
W.F. Collier
Prepared by Michael Steer
The author provides an engaging and entertaining retrospective of his native Plymouth during much of Queen Victoria's remarkable reign. The paper is replete with anecdotes from the 'good old days recounted by his elders; stories about Jack Tars, Lord Morley's gamekeeper's daughter, bull-baiting, the screeching dolly ghost, the Quicksilver Mail and much about his own life during the sixty year period. The author presents a charming social history. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
