TitleRowland Brotherhood memoir - page 8
Creator Rowland Brotherhood (author)
DescriptionEighth page of handwritten memoir written by Rowland Brotherhood, contractor who worked with IK Brunel. Page 8 of 78.
Account of 'Uncle Jack' and the bull continues - the bull eventually gace up, and didn't chase anyone again for a while, and Jack didn't give him the opportunity. Talks about falling into 'seven feet of mud' in an ornamental lake and 'a few more such larks in various places'. Ends by discussing the 'Ha-Ha' he helped build at Kew Gardens -'these fences
are generally built with brick or stone wall on the upright side but this was made with all earthwork & covered with green turf'.
