Feels nice to be trying something new, and hopefully better - blue skies ahead… My potted bio: I’m a historian of modern Britain, with a passion for the British mining industry. Also mum to two under 10s, and a part-time charity worker for Headway NW. Former Research Manager of Imperial War Museum.
