The Shropshire Record Series
2 The
diary of George Gitton of Bridgnorth for 1866.
George Gitton, a small-time printer
and newspaper reporter in Victorian Bridgnorth, presents in his
private diary an intimate record of his own existence, a
colourful picture of the town's shopkeepers, publicans, and
social leaders, and a kaleidoscope of local events,
entertainments, accidents, and crimes. Gitton's diary captures
the essence of a small mid-Victorian town as no official record,
newspaper, or photograph could do.
