I. Tee loves nothing more than shocking unsuspecting folk with the tale that she was abandoned at birth by gypsies and raised en famille with kindly mice in the crypt of an old church.

Alas! The truth is altogether more unremarkable.

A broken wing, a halo and with one tiny perfect foot peeking out from under an elaborate stone gown while protected by a delicate cobweb are all that remains of an angel perched upon an tombstone.

Trawling through the parish registers from the City of York for sight of an elusive betrothal at @yorkfhs.bsky.social is not proving easy this morning.

Thank goodness help is at hand during my sleuthing hour of need.

P.S. Those registers are paper copies and NOT the real deal!

Against a backdrop of aged soft stone under a dappled blue cloudy Scarborough sky and stretching to a quarter of a mile long - the longest railway bench in the world awaits at Platform 1.

The view from my world this noontime.

II. And, in defiance of that Victorian spoilsport - I have ventured forth to Scarborough once more to catch the final day of the exhibition 'The Yorkshire Coast By Rail' at the fabulous Old Parcels Office.

I. "Scarborough has no wish for a greater influx of vagrants and those who have no money to spend." ~ George Knowles.

Despite the missive fired off in 1844 from his smart abode at Woodend in Scarboro', Knowles was unsuccessful in his campaign to halt the rail connection from York to his hometown.

I. It all began with the discovery of a slipper in the year 1898 on the doorstep of an abode in the Middle Water Lane of the City of YORK.

With the hunt for the wearer now underway, a tragic discovery was soon sadly revealed...

II. However, the poignant tale of this discarded slipper would be lost to the ravages of time - until now!

WHO HIDES BENEATH? A WALK LIKE NO OTHER.

Tickets await the curious to walk awhile every THURSDAY and FRIDAY from 7pm through SEPTEMBER month.

I. Shortly after midnight one August day in the year 1902 - a young mother left her home in the Hungate area of YORK with her youngest child safely nestled within her arms.

Their last moments together under the shadow of Skeldergate Bridge would ignite a perfect firestorm throughout the city...

School's OUT!

In the SEPTEMBER publication of The Yorkshire Dalesman, I muse on memories of my school days, and the controversial antics of the clergyman of Boston Spa who would trigger the Victorian equivalent of a viral internet phenomenon in the year 1877.

On a gloriously sunny morning and with an early arrival into the city - I have seized a few stolen moments wandering around the majestic seat of local justice here in York before a noon meeting beckons.

And, strictly for the purpose of sleuthing - I might add!

A little early morning tombstone appreciation before I resume my desk and kettle duties for @yorkfhs.bsky.social

And, if you have ancestors to sleuth, you can find me at the RAYLOR CENTRE in YORK at YO10 3DW.

I vanish at 4pm.

I. The Polite Tourist presents a THURSDAY and FRIDAY EVENING walk through SEPTEMBER in YORK - Who Hides Beneath?

Through stone arches and along a riverside path steeped in history - why not listen to The Polite Tourist one evening as they share with you the tales of those ordinary folk.

I. It all began with a letter in February 1822 when William Gray (1751-1845) a pious and philanthropic attorney from the City of York picked up the quill to pen a missive to the Editor of the Yorkshire Gazette.
