Welcome to your December issue...
A very warm welcome to this, our last issue of 2025. As a new year draws closer, it’s time to look back and reflect on this year, in which so much has happened locally and further afield. For some of us, some loved ones are no longer around, but for many, new arrivals and relationships have made the future look brighter than ever.
Huge thanks go to everyone who has helped us at Discovering Magazines in any way this year. This refers to our advertisers and contributors, (with their regular features, wonderful advice, and suggestions) and, of course, our dedicated sales and editorial colleagues who this year have shown such amazing support for each other. But it is you, our readers, who make everything worthwhile for us, so many thanks to you all. Best wishes for Christmas and for 2026 – good luck, but most importantly, good health!
As we enter the final weeks of 2025 and the forthcoming festive season, I would like to pay tribute to all those who have contributed to the success of the magazine over the past twelve months.
That’s all the advertisers who have used the magazine to promote their businesses, everyone who has kept us informed of the latest news and what’s happening in their local community, my colleagues who every day work tirelessly to produce the best possible publication and to you, our readers, who I know look forward to the magazine dropping through their letterbox each month. It is no exaggeration to say we could not produce the magazine without the help of everyone mentioned, so I would like to say a big thank you to you all.
Finally, I hope that the seasonal celebrations will be enjoyable and peaceful for you all. I look forward to resuming our relationship in 2026...
With thanks to: Diamond Byte, Whitings LLP, March Podiatry, Bridget Hunter, Chris Donald

Don't miss Wisbech Christmas Fayre
Indulge in all things festive at Wisbech Christmas Fayre in the town centre which is free to enjoy on Sunday, December 14th.
The fayre includes eighty stalls offering quality gifts and delicious seasonal food, live music and dance, children’s attractions, an indoor craft fair and interactive family activities.
Meander from the Market Place to the High Street, The Crescent, library, museum and Horsefair Shopping Centre taking in the sights sound and smells of Christmas and meet Santa!
Be sure to visit Wisbech Library, in Ely Place, where you’ll find an indoor craft fayre, and Wisbech Museum, in Museum Square, for an historical Christmas food display and tasting along with a ‘Crafty Little Christmas’ exhibition.
Cllr Chris Seaton, of Fenland District Council, said: “We know our town Christmas events are rightly a highlight of the year and festive season for many and we look forward to seeing thousands of people filling our towns once again and enjoying all that’s on offer.”
Wisbech Christmas Fayre is a Fenland Four Seasons
event supported by a committee of dedicated volunteers involving Fenland District Council, Wisbech Town Council, Wisbech Horsefair Shopping Centre, Wisbech Library, Wisbech and Fenland Museum, Wisbech Projects, Wisbech Lions, the National Trust’s Peckover House and Wisbech Rotary Club, Wisbech Churches Together with contributions from many more.
Fenland District Council provides some seed money to each of the Four Seasons events, an officer to support in the coordination and planning of them, support with bookings and administration and to ensure staffing for many aspects of the on-the-day running.
Walking, cycling or travelling by public transport to the event is encouraged for those who can.
To allow the event to happen, it’s usual for there to be no parking on or vehicle access to the following roads from 5am to 7pm: Bridge St, York Row, Post Office Lane, The Crescent, Ely Place, Castle Square, Castle Mews and Union Place, Hill St, Union St, Market Place, High St, Little Church St and Church Terrace. Vehicles parked on those roads between those times may be towed away at the owner’s expense.
Motorists are urged to use free council car parks in Chapel Road (PE13 1RG), Somers Road (PE13 1JF) and Church Terrace (PE13 1BL). Horsefair Shopping Centre car park, Churchill Road, will also be free for the day.
The event is making a welcome return after high winds led to cancellation last year.
A week before Wisbech Christmas Fayre, March Christmas Market will be held, taking place from 10am to 3pm on Sunday, December 7th.

CTRL+ALT+DEL – THE KEY COMBO TO KNOW
Ctrl+Alt+Del is one of the most used shortcuts in Windows. If you are not already familiar with it, do read on as we think you’ll find it useful!
The Ctrl+Alt+Del command enables you perform several tasks, but in our opinion, its most useful function is to quickly access the Task Manager Using Task Manger allows you to terminate unresponsive or frozen applications, programmes and your internet browser should you be unable to close them by clicking on the ‘X’ button.
Here’s how to do it:
● Press and hold the Ctrl key with one finger. Using another finger on the same hand, press and hold the Alt key. Finally, while still holding down both the Ctrl and Alt keys, press the Delete (Del) key with the other hand.
● A Windows Security screen will appear, showing a list of options:
• Lock
• Switch User
• Sign Out
• Task Manager
● Select Task Manager to open the Task Manager window.
● In the Task Manager window, you will see a list of all running applications and processes. Under the Processes tab, scroll through the list to find the application that is not responding. It may be listed under ‘Apps’ or ‘Background processes’. It is likely to say that it is unresponsive.
● Once you have located it in the list, right-click on it to bring up a menu and click the ‘End Task’ button (which should be second on the list). This will force the problematic application to close.
To prevent your internet browser from becoming unresponsive in the future, you may wish to consider the following tips:
● Regularly clear your browser cache and cookies.
● Keep your browser and your operating system updated.
● Avoid opening too many tabs simultaneously, as this can consume a lot of system resources.
● Check for any problematic/ unnecessary extensions or add-ons and disable them if necessary.
● Ensure your computer has enough RAM, CPU, and disk space to run your browser smoothly.
Just in case you are wondering what the other Ctrl+Alt+Del options do:
Lock: Locks your computer, preventing others from seeing your open programs or files. This is particularly useful in office environments or shared spaces should you need to move away from your PC for a while.
Switch User: If multiple people share the same PC, switching users allows someone else to sign in without you having to close down all your apps. Your programs are paused until you switch back, meaning you can continue with what you were previously doing.
Sign Out: If you choose to sign out, Windows closes all open apps and files in your user account, logs you off and takes you to the sign in screen.

Dentures
Dentures fracture for a reason. They may have become damaged, perhaps by dropping; they may simply be old and worn; or perhaps the denture is no longer suitable for purpose.
Loose dentures may damage gums or the underlying bone structure and are also more prone to breakage. Re-lining your denture will re-establish a good fit.
Your dentures should be inspected annually along with a checkup on your oral health, or more frequently if necessary.

SLIMMING WORLD’S LAST-MINUTE CHRISTMAS CAKE
Our handy recipe has the warming spices and moist, moreish texture of the real thing but there’s no need to start months in advance!
Ingredients
• 500g mixed dried fruit
• 250ml made-up hot black tea
• 3 level tbsp sweetener granules
• 2 tsp mixed spice
• 250g prepared pumpkin or butternut squash chunks
• 2 large eggs
• 1 level tbsp Sarson’s Browning (adds a lovely colour, though you can leave it out if you don’t mind a paler cake).
• 1 level tsp bicarbonate of soda
• 100g plain wholemeal flour
• 100g plain flour
Method
1. Put the dried fruit, tea, sweetener and mixed spice in a non-stick pan over a medium heat and slowly bring to the boil, stirring. Simmer, uncovered, for three minutes then remove from the heat, cover and leave to plump up overnight.
2. The next day, preheat your oven to 160°C/fan 140°C/gas 3 and line the base and sides of a deep 20cm x 20cm cake tin with non-stick baking paper.
3. Put the pumpkin or squash in a pan of boiling water over a high heat and cook for fifteen
minutes. Drain well, tip into your food processor and whizz into a smooth purée.
4. Stir the puréed pumpkin or squash, eggs, Sarson’s Browning and bicarbonate of soda into the fruit mixture, then sift over both flours and gently mix in.
5. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and lightly level the surface. Bake the cake for one hour or until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool in the tin. Once it’s cooled and you’re ready to serve it, remove the cake from the tin and cut it into twenty slices. You can wrap the cake in greaseproof paper and foil then store in an airtight container for up to one week.

FENLAND FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY
By Bridget Hunter
Our researchers start by looking at surnames. BUT do you know where your surname came from? Before 1066 when William the Conqueror took over England, families did not use surnames. William decided, to be able to trace and get taxes from people, they should have family surnames.
How did they decide on a surname? They often said they were Robert’s son, ROBERTSON, or William’s son WILLIAMS and so on. Or their trade name; CARPENTER, FARMER, BAKER, ARCHER etc. The reason there were so many SMITH families is there were so many trades, such as GOLDSMITH, SILVERSMITH, BLACKSMITH, all very important trades. Farmers, cooks, and carters could not manage without a blacksmith to make their tools. Surnames often got changed over the years due to a misunderstanding of the spelling of the name when an enumerator wrote down what he thought he heard the person say. Do you have an unusual surname?
MEETINGS
Our meetings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month (except DECEMBER and AUGUST). Our January meeting will be on Thursday 22nd in the Wisbech Library at 7pm-9pm when the talk will be ‘A Murder in Denver’ by Susanah FARMER. Visitors are
always welcome to join us with a donation of at least £2 to help to pay for the hire of the hall.
RESEARCH SESSIONS
Our researchers do not charge for their help with your research. Sessions are on the first Tuesday of the month at 10am-12noon at Wisbech Library, with maybe a donation towards the hire of the hall. On the second Monday of the month, we will be in the restaurant at Baytree Garden Centre, Hilgay near Downham Market at 11am-2.30pm and on the third Wednesday of November you can find us at the Red Lion on North Brink Wisbech 6.30pm-8pm. These are held every other month. Everyone is welcome to any of our sessions, no matter where your family originated.
SPEAKERS
Our speakers are available to attend groups and clubs to give talks in the local area. Our talks are very amusing as well as informative. They include: ‘We’re going down the pub - a talk on local’ history’; ‘History of Elgoods’; ‘Wisbech heritage’; ‘The Littleport Riots’; ‘The Fun of Family History’; ‘My Naughty Great Aunt Eliza’; ‘The Ups & Downs of Being a Magistrate’; and ‘The Sad Tale of The Blacksmiths Family’.

SHOW YOUR SKILLS AND HELP SAVE WISBECH MUSEUM
Craftspeople from the Fens are invited to make and donate a fabulous tree decoration for Wisbech and Fenland Museum’s latest fundraiser, A Crafty Little Christmas.
Sound Advice From Clearer Hearing
TThe museum is keen to promote the variety and excellence of handmade work produced in the Fens and help to secure its own future at the same time.
here’s no need for people to suffer in silence if they feel they have hearing problems. That’s the message from Clearer Hearing Ltd which says people should treat their hearing just as they do their eye-sight.
Jackie Mantle, manager of the company’s Wisbech and St Ives branches, said: “Most people have their eyes tested every year and they should treat their hearing the same.”
Wednesday to Saturday from now until Saturday, November 19th. For further information email info@ wisbechmuseum.co.uk
“People shouldn’t be afraid to come in and have their ears checked; they shouldn’t sit at home in silence. We are here to give advice and have many regular customers at our Wisbech clinic, many of whom have been with us for years with some coming from as far afield as north Norfolk.”
Meanwhile, black and white photos taken by the Vicar of Guyhirn’s daughter that tell the story of the Fenland village community up to the mid-twentieth century are on display at the museum until November 9th.
Established in 2002 and with a presence in Wisbech since 2008, Clearer Hearing is a family owned independent hearing healthcare company with team of qualified and registered hearing aid audiologists.
The company can help people deal with a host of hearing issues, including tinnitus and noise protection, but Jackie says the most common procedure they carry out is ear wax removal.
Only decorations that can be hung on a Christmas tree will be sold for a fixed price of £7 at Wisbech and Fenland Museum’s Crafty Little Christmas exhibition from December 6th to December 20th. All proceeds will go towards supporting the museum to stay open.
Submissions can be sent or delivered to the museum reception desk which is open from 10am to 4pm,
She said: “Wax removal is definitely the most common problem we deal with. People tend to think that if their hearing worsens they may need a hearing aid, which due to technology today are small and unobtrusive, but invariably it’s because of a build-up of ear wax.
The company’s comprehensive website –www.clearerhearing.co.uk – boasts a quick and easy hearing checker which provides a snapshot of your hearing ability to give an easy assessment and the opportunity of a priority booking should you require a full consultation.
Miss Margaret George, or Maggie George as she was fondly known, was nineteen when her father moved to Guyhirn as vicar just as the First World War was ending and the exhibition reveals every detail of community life in Guyhirn over thirty years from 1918 to 1948.

She had honed her skill as a photographer on the Kodak Box Brownie she was given as a child and left thirty albums with captions and ten thousand negatives recording every baptism, wedding, fete, seaside outing, farm activity and funeral.
• Free hearing tests
• State of the art rechargeable hearing aids which are compatible with all mobile phones
• Effective painless wax removal
• Noise protection

Sometimes Amusing
History doesn’t have to be boring. Without thinking about it, we all recall history, remembering things that are special to us. We say things like, do you remember Paul’s rst tooth, or what about that time it rained all the time when we were at Great Yarmouth for our summer holiday?
INTERESTING
You’re driving along a road called Station Road but where is the station? Where is the railway?
Wisbech and the Fens had many miles of railway lines and stations in the early part of the 20th century. Now, except for the disused line from Wisbech to March, all have completely gone. ere is no sign of where the station used to be, or the railway lines used to be.
AMUSING
In the early 1900s it was considered a treat to go all the way to Peterborough once or twice a year by train. Railways were used a lot. Very few people had a car then. For a summer holiday you would take the train to Hunstanton. And when you got to King’s Lynn the train went in forwards but came out backwards.
Wisbech had not one but two railway stations, both now gone, and the little village of Murrow surprisingly had two stations too. And they are both gone. One train, known as a tramway, travelled from Outwell to Wisbech carrying people and goods at the incredible speed of… eight miles per hour!
CURIOUS
Wisbech at one time had the largest swing bridge in the whole world, costing one million pounds. Only, it seems they got their maths wrong and it didn’t swing and just remained permanently closed. If it had moved, the hydraulic liquid that was used to power it had alcohol in it. ere were actually some people who opposed drinking that thought the bridge should work on purely teetotal principles.
In the 1800s everybody went to church or chapel on a Sunday and the main church in the middle of town held,
at one time, 1800 people! And then that wasn’t enough, so they had to build two extra churches in town, the Octagon and St Augustine’s. If you go into a church now, you can sit anywhere but, in those days, the best seats had to be bought. At the back and sides were free seats.
In Wisbech, water sometimes goes uphill! If you stand on the Town Bridge, you will sometimes see the water going backwards. Why? e Nene is a tidal river, nearly all the way to Peterborough. And in the 1920s and 30s people not only swam in the Nene but also dived o the Town Bridge!
Well, here are some amusing events in the Fens, including Wisbech, starting with local football. Wisbech had an away football game at Huntingdon, but it was delayed as the referee got on the wrong train. In another game, after fty minutes of play, the ball ended up in a thorn bush and punctured. As they didn’t have a substitute ball the game was stopped. en there was the time that the pay box collapsed and nearly two hundred people got in for free. And reporting games in the local newspapers wasn’t very accurate. Sometimes, if you read di erent papers Wisbech won by one goal and in another they won by three!
AND FINALLY
e Fens is a massive 1500 sq. ml. Or about one million acres. We think of the Fens as being Cambridgeshire but there is the northern fen and the southern fen. e northern fen, mostly in Lincolnshire, is mostly silt land while the southern is mostly peat with some silt. And the whole of the Fen stretches from Whittlesey to the Wash and from Ely to Boston.
Wisbech is called the Capital of the Fens as it is the largest town in the region and was also a market town but Spalding claims to be the heart of the Fens. Wisbech, years ago, consumed more opium than any other town in the whole country. And you can still go into a chemist in Wisbech and buy opium legally…. I refer of course to the fragrance, "opium" made by Yves Saint Laurent.

Over the last few months, we have been working hard to clear the line from Waldersea to Coldham, and we are now about 400m from the Coldham Station area. Many thanks to the members who have worked tirelessly this year to make it happen. We will need even more help once the line is clear, as we move on to the next stage of the project.
Our usual workdays are the first and third Saturdays of each month, starting 9am at Waldersea. Please check out our new website for more history and photos.
