@dajmeyer.bsky.socialWe started our very English day by visiting Flatford, where John Constable painted his most famous landscape, _The Hay Wain_. There is a lot of duckweed because the summer has been so hot. The model of the hay wain is at #Colchester Castle @colmuseums.bsky.social.
@colcivicsociety.bsky.social#OnThisDay - 13 September 1843, Dr Roger Nunn, Mayor, laid the foundation stone for #Colchester's new Town Hall - the predecessor of the current one.
The stone in question was retained just inside the entrance when the new (3rd) hall was built.
