History, politics. Usually modern Britain. Currently taking a detour to the lost medieval island of Ravenser Odd. Professor at Sussex.

This kind of cross-river life seems quite common and key to our story: ‘He took early retirement in 1986, when Humber Graving Dock, in Immingham, Lincolnshire, went into liquidation, and moved from Grimsby back to Yorkshire.’
