It was rather a sad day today as I was joined for the last time by Frances Clamp. Frances has been with me on this show for the last 3 years but is now in the midst of writing a new book about Southend-on-Sea during the First World war, which unsurprisingly is taking up rather a lot of her time.

For the final show today Frances took a nostalgic look at some of the topics she has covered during the past around 150 episodes. So for the final time take a listen to what Frances recalled from this period: – Bygones 29th October

It goes without saying that I am going to miss Frances and her weekly contributions and all of us at Phoenix wish her well with her new project.

All the best,

Scott
