There is no doubting the service folk like you do for the places you live. Without videos like yours, many folk probably wouldn't even know Coggeshall even exists. Yet, in your hands, we are treated to some rare history, and interesting facts. With this video we see a bit of the activity in the town today. There are some talented people there. Thank you Dave, and I hope you really benefitted from your holiday break.

There is good and bad in this story. Bad that the old buildings were demolished, but good in that, although at a time when modern buildings were horrendous on the eye, the new building on that corner was in sympathy with the area. In fact, if I hadn't seen the registration on the fire engine, i'd have thought it was quite a bit older. More good stuff my friend.

I'm amazed at how you manage to find these stories that link someone in such a seemingly small place to such major events elsewhere, or to fame made in other places. This video was particularly interesting as it shows yet another side of the Titanic story that many will not have known. Well done my friend, we all enjoy your work.
