#OnePlaceStudy The webinar "One Place Study as a Research Tool" is free on Legacy Family Tree Webinars for 6 days. familytreewebinars.com/webinar/the-...

Anyone up for some #Medieval #OnePlaceStudies #PrimarySources fun? Ooh, yes please! #OnePlaceWednesday

Will be exploring this later! #OnePlaceWednesday

Two recent webinars with @oneplacestudies.bsky.social on churchyard carvings helped me look at St Clements on Harris with a new light. Sadly none in my #OnePlaceStudies place. (and yes, there is a sheela-na-gig). #OnePlaceWednesday

Not sure we were supposed to photograph this slimline Victorian #postbox whilst on a birding holiday in Redcastle. Sadly all those in my #OnePlaceStudies place are standard EIIR issue. Any good ones in your places? #OnePlaceWednesday

Much happiness at work tomorrow 🙂

Come on Oldham!

Dear Student, If you are going to quote my sodding paper then please reference it. Yours, tutor.

Congratulations!

One of the issues raised is the nature of oral vs written historical records. The Hebrides has a rich oral culture, whilst traditionally historians have valued written over oral sources. This has implications for whose history is told and to what effect. But is it changing? #OnePlaceWednesday

Fine example of #OnePlaceStudies by Hebrides People. £5 for an excellent exhibition, £70 to get out of the bookshop. Can't think how that happened... #OnePlaceWednesday

Settling down to some murder, sex and mayhem with the @oneplacestudies.bsky.social webinar. #OnePlaceStudies We have started with severed breasts.

Up for a bit of murder, sex & mayhem this evening? #OnePlaceStudies

A Few Forgotten Women present a radio-style play for VE Day 'It's Alright for you Women!' about women's wartime experiences. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dw5... #VEDay #WomensHistory

Fantastic piece of #OnePlaceStudies work. #OnePlaceWednesday

First thing I've seen in the CIIIR livery. Sadly, there probably won't be many postboxes.

30-ish minutes to go and no fingernails left. #ComeOnBurnley #UTC

Happy Easter. Christ is risen.

Giving up social media for Lent. See you after Easter.

New month, new #OnePlaceStudies blogging and social media prompt: #OnePlaceEducation! A chance to look at and share the stories of your place’s educators and students, and of the schools or other educational establishments they attended. Our website has more on this and our other blogging prompts🔗.

Interesting numbered stone in Little Switzerland, Cheshire. House number or upside-down datestone? Or?

Deep inside the hillside in my #OPSForFree place of Newlands, this C17 waterwheel pit. #OnePlaceGeology drives this #OnePlaceStudy.
