The City of Westminster website is serial­ising the diary of a mid-nineteenth century wharf clerk named Nathaniel Bryceson.

Highlights include visits to the gallows to watch execu­tions, the purchasing of cheese, and Bryceson’s meetings with his romantic interest Ann Fox (it is noted in the intro­duction that some of these episodes are written in “surpris­ingly explicit language”, though the nearest I’ve found so far is an entry from 2 January 1846 in which he ‘tastes her puddings’).
