Journal entry – John Grey – 6 Mar 1835

Friday March 6th



A stormy morning & heavy rain, preventing the work at the Embankment  by the rising of the river, attended to Office business - the weather cleared up at noon - I went over to the a farm of Wooley to look into its condition & coming in at the South side of Dipton Wood traversed it in different directions, finding many Trees, chiefly Scots & Larch Firs, torn up by the late Storms.  They are however of a size to be saleable at a fair price & must be collected for the purpose.  The replanting of the Plots from which the wood has of late years been cleared, in that extensive tract of Woodland, will be completed in a few days.
