I was born, a few weeks after men walked on the moon, in Clifton-upon-Dunsmore, near Rugby, Warwickshire. Lived in the same house till I left home to go to University – I studied Social Psychology at the University of Sussex (try saying that when you’re drunk!) Then I went to Durham to do Teacher Training, […]

Hi folks. Thought I’d give some background info on ~~~: ! I live with my partner, Wendie, in Bridlington, East Yorkshire. My main interests lie with studying landscapes and tracing their history, especially with regards 19th & 20thC industrial sites.

I was born paralysed from the waist down. I first become interested in history and archaeology when my school took a group of us charioteers (wheelchairs) to West Kennett Long Barrow and Stonehenge.

I was born in Dundee, Scotland but as part of an Army family moved house on a regular basis due to Dad’s postings and by the age of 16 I had attended 13 different schools around the mainland and Northern Ireland. When my Dad left the army, the family moved back to Scotland but I […]

I’ve been a committed armchair archaeologist since series one of Time Team and glad to say my family now shares that interest also. Highlight for us, was meeting the team at the live dig in Canterbury. Think my interest developed from my love of history during my school days. Have had the notion to participate […]
