Westmill
Women's Institute
On Wednesday, February 23rd, the members of the Women's Institute greatly enjoyed a lecture given by Mr Heydeman, entitled "London on the top of a Bus."
The lecturer showed how you can trace some of the history of our great and marvellous city of London by studying the names of the streets. He said that in no other town were the streets named after families who once possessed the land, and you can in many cases tell by the name the possible date when a particular piece of land became part of London.
The lecture was admirably delivered, the lecturer gradually becoming more and more thrilled with his subject, especially when he came to speak of the Tower of London, "One of the most marvellous buildings on God's earth."
After the lecture, there were games and some dancing, and the meeting closed with God save the King.
