Eminent Ship-Builder Mr Stacey Noted in Deptford Deaths
A scattered 18th century notice lists multiple deaths and appointments. It mentions Mr Stacey a ship builder in Deptford, several other notable deaths in London and surrounding areas including Brook Street and St James's, and ecclesiastical livings to be filled. It also records a fire at Westing near Aldermaston, a sunk custom-house boat at Bear Key, and a Maidstone Gaol escape attempt ending fatally for a prisoner. The piece includes naval intelligence, weathered by dated letters and financial market references.
