My great grandfather went from a working class background kept home from school on Mondays by his mum to stoke the peat oven in Soham to becoming an area manager in the Prudential. I explain how such social mobility is harder nowadays. #marshfenandtown #socialmobility

Land becomes cultivated or grade 1 by the efforts of man. It then gets built on by the efforts of man, negating the work that has gone before. #marshfenandtown. What value is lost or gained as towns grow like the rings of a tree trunk?

After WW2 the supply from farmers direct to food processing increased rapidly especially in meat production seeing a transfer from local supply and markets to one via supermarkets. Thus relationship between farmer and consumer transformed. #marshfenandtown

Geest cosmopolitan view and self-reliant business model were key to its success. A success that benefitted the whole region and helped establish the food industry in Spalding. #marshfenandtown

Footfall is key to the health of any town centre. As described in my latest #marshfenandtown excerpt. We see the new Lincoln indoor market failing due to lack of foot fall. As services are lost from town centres so are opportunities for employment and social mobility.

I wonder how many farmer's sons recognise this? #marshfenandtown . In contrast I sat in my son's school and listened to the head teacher berate the local food industry and those wishing to work in it without going to university and their parents as "lacking aspirations" .

Today's excerpt from #marshfenandtown illustrates how swift and organised action by SUDC ensured Spalding received it's Sugar Beet factory and other towns lost out. A feat it would be doubtful could be achieved in a timely manner today
