In 1826, a boy, nearly 12-years-old and living in Kilburn, picked up an old account book of his father's, and on the unused pages began a diary which he was to keep for his lifetime. John Pocock, the son of a once prosperous builder in London, began his work just at a time when his father faced financial ruin. Poignantly he relates the comforts of a fine house and busy social life, but also the long walks to Southwark to see his father in debtors' prison. After his schooling he was apprenticed to a surgeon and sailed for Perth in Australia and finally Cape Town.
