Thanks Hoot; it is difficult to get a map of Essex here in Colorado. Yes Herga, 'The Belle of Barking Creek' by Paddy Roberts Here You can be happy now that we are above the line:-) Barking Creek is so entrenched in our folklore that I put it under that heading. Another related song is 'The British Workman's Grave' which protested the disinterment of a Londoner's Old Man during the building of that bloody great sewer. You can hear me singing it on my website
