The Diary Of An Arp Warden
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
Book is in good condition, but there is some marking and indentation to the back cover. The edges are all neat and there is no marking or writing on any of the pages (except the ISBN has been written on the back cover!). ===== Edward J. Carter was born in Waltham Holy Cross in 1905 and attended the local Council School. He left at fourteen and started work for Jessop and Gough - the local solicitors, before moving to the Waltham Abbey Building Society. He became Secretary of the Society in 1937, a position he held until his retirement in 1969. Ted Carter had a keen interest in local affairs. He was a founder member of the Lea Valley Photographic Society and its Secretary for over twenty years; Secretary of the Waltham Abbey Baptist Church for twenty-five years, and he became a Justice of the Peace in 1951. He was appointed Chief Warden for the Urban District of Waltham Holy Cross early in 1939. This diary, typed at great speed with two fingers on a battered typewriter, was written purely for his own interest. He had no thoughts of publication, though he did remark when offering it to the Waltham Abbey Historical Society "somebody might find it interesting in years to come". We hope that this publication of the diary, together with Ted's own photographs, will indeed prove interesting to those who lived through the War years in Waltham Abbey, and to the many for whom the Second World War is just hearsay.
