The City of Westminster Council have started an exciting internet project this year.
They are publishing a diary from nineteen year old Nathanial Bryceson a wharf clerk. The diary, form 1846 gives an amazing insight into the everyday life of a clerk in London. The diary is being published a day at a time, which is a brilliant idea.
A full introdcution on Nathanial can be found here including what happened to him after 1846 and the diary entries start here.
I’ll be reading this all year, especially as some of the content mentions famous people and events such as wars, hangings and such.
