I have a B.Sc. (Hons) in Media Systems and an M.Sc. in Computer Based Information Systems. I am also a qualified FE lecturer, currently teaching GNVQ Communication Studies. My interest in Archaeology was piqued when I realised, at a very young age, my home town was an important Roman site (Arbeia Fort). Since then I have gravitated to the more ‘recent’ field of Industrial Archaeology.
Linked to this I like to walk down the lanes behind established shops and look at the structure; often this is original and bears no relation to the shop frontage.
Special Interest Areas
