As true today as it was in 1976

March 12, 2019 by Grantham Matters 2 Comments

A very interesting observation about Grantham writen by local historian Malcolm G Knapp in 1976. It is just as true today.

    It would do for those who are responsible for the whole sale destruction of Grantham to read and inwardly digest the message contained but alas! It will not be, too busy on the ego trips and getting their faces in front of a camera, I wonder just how history will judge these people. Only time will tell, but what a tale it will be, sadly I won’t be around to hear it.

    I remember this article! Oddly not because it namechecked my dad’s shop (I’d completely forgotten about that), but because of his line about Skegness – a joke that Malcolm used to crack on his regular visits to our house, and one that I still occasionally nick today.
