To our ancestors, it was a stately home occupied by Britain's elite - but to us, it's the scene of a much-loved period drama. The question is; which television programme was filmed here? 🤔 📷 The Sphere, 3 March 1951 - https://buff.ly/3Xdcxng

Advert for one of the most famous football matches of all time ... 100 years to the day later, I was at Gayfield Park, in Arbroath, watching the mighty Meadowbank Thistle play Arbroath. Arbroath Guide, 12 Sep 1885, courtesy @findmypast.bsky.social

We just love the notes Edward Brookman left on his 1921Census return ⬇️ We learn he was widowed (but also orphaned), and what he could make in his line of work as a carpenter. He was from Compton Dando, but 'don't tell anyone,' and he was the 'head and tail' of his household.
