I watched Digging Up Britain's Past and The Bone Detectives but missed that one Gloria. Saturday night is turning into history night on TV!
One of our History Society members gave a talk on the history of Blackpool on Tuesday, that was very interesting too.

Just go steady on the whisky! Took me days to recover from my first Burns Supper in Scotland and years till I could enjoy a wee dram again. Still love a bit of Burns especially "Sic a wife as Willie had".

Would we be on the right because we are white?

Grand Central Station, New York?

I've stopped worrying about what other people eat, so no teeth clamping here.

I was listening to that story on R4 You and Yours yesterday lunchtime Kev, has the email arrived since then?

No idea where it is but I think the N is uppercase and the right right way round, the base of the barrier post is covering the point on the top left.

Somewhere warm and sunny!

I like that China!
Is Stanley having us on? Did he really not recognise Her Royalness?

The cloud came down to our level as it went dark which made for an unpleasant drive to Earby and back last night for the history society meeting. I hate that road in thick mist, it goes in too many unexpected directions! Pitch black outside now, so we are probably still in the clouds.

"Lillbullero" got me thinking, way off topic. The only version I have heard was the one performed by Bellowhead, it seems they were actually singing "The Farmer's Curst Wife" to the same tune as other, more political versions of the song.

Is it in Burnley? No idea where though.

Well done Gloria!!

Time to come clean Tiz, don't mess with Gloria's head it could be dangerous!!

When the gable wall collapsed next door they had started putting Acro props beneath the beams inside taking the huge weight of the stone tiled roof off the wall....

I've never had a problem buying washing soda, most of the supermarkets stock it.

Different documents Ian, concentrate!!

I tried public baths a few suggestions ago....

Parts of Thornton in Craven churchyard were built up layer on layer!

Francis Harrison married to Martha Swire was probably Earby's last corn miller, also called Frankie in some of the Thornton in Craven parish records. He is still noted as a miller in 1811 but we know that there was an attempt to convert the mill to spinning cotton around the turn of the century. Wil...

There are many graves that dont have headstones Ian, or they may have been lost long before the inscriptions were recorded in the 20th century.

The design is similar to toll houses, but it's too big for that. Custom house?
