It’s one of 5500+ of scheduled ancient monuments with no right of public access. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Boundaries, Borders & the Tees-Exe Line Every once in a while I encounter a debate on where the North of England starts. Many people have an opinion but there is often little agreement on the precise location of the boundary. I suppose it is probably relative to where a person is born and lives,…
