Finding my ancestors, including Patterson, Ridgley, Burnham, Burdett, Leaver, Canavan, Heaney, Ferguson, Kavanagh and ongoing. Also a One Place Study at bledlowoneplacestudy.wordpress.com. Don't expect too much!!
I remember visiting this a couple of years ago. Wasn’t Christmas but was so atmospheric
Stepping onto Kirkgate at #YorkCastleMuseum all dressed in its #Christmas finery and covered with a light dusting of #snow feels like stepping onto the film set for an adaptation of #AChristmasCarol. It is a magical journey back in time to #Victorian York worthy of the Ghost of Christmas Past!

Don't forget that the #ClocksGoBack tonight! 🕰️ But did you know that Greenwich Mean Time only became standard across the UK with the coming of the railways? 🚂 Before then, different towns ran on their own 'local time'...

This is Trevor Fisher, speaking to @channel4news.bsky.social from Arthur Rank Hospice in Cambridgeshire this week.
As a palliative care specialist, Trevor’s interview has devastated me.
His hospice has just been told Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust is withdrawing £800k of funding. 🧵
