I wanted to get to this point by the end of Jan and I’m so pleased I’ve snuck in just under the wire!

If anyone has content they'd like to see on there / have things you think I should cover I'd love to hear! Also, if you have heritage locations near you (UK) that dogs are welcome in that you think people should know about and that I should visit I would love to know!

Yes this is shameless promotion, but on the off chance you enjoy my site, and have a spare bit of cash around that you'd been hoping to give to a history blogger/PhD candidate now's your chance! If you don't have spare cash/don't want to that's fine you can still visit my site www.lucy-brewer.com

If anyone has any suggestions for where I should go next I would love to hear it! I'm taking a pretty broad view of 'heritage' so happy to hear all kinds of ideas that you think are worth people knowing about!

This post has touch of football history, a dash of Dracula, and a smattering of spooky punctuation.

So on this cold December day, if you'd like to wrap up warm, grab a hot drink and take a trip with me to Whitby, this is the blog for you!

I also happen to have a (roughly 30 min) presentation that goes along with this, and am available for online conferences, sessions, classes etc. if you want to know more!

This post looks at my time with @salvarmyarchive.bsky.social; some of the sources you can find in their archives; how death in the 19thC could impact those left behind; introduces you to some women you otherwise would not know; and shows you a way of interrogating 19thC data with 21stC methods.

Published for Remembrance weekend, it's also an appropriate read now as Herbert headed over to the continent on Christmas Eve. Bishops, barbed wire, and bombed gardens all make an appearance here, as we join Herb on his search for normalcy during a time of horror.

In third place was 'Seeking Gardens At War': a look at Herbert Cowley and his time in 12th Battalion, London Regiment during #WW1.

Yes! They’re next on my visit list, pretty excited for it

I'm also really close to 1000 page views for the year (a small number sure, but significant for my tiny site), so if people would like to have a read of the various other posts up there I'd be v grateful!

It's the start of a new, if intermittent, series I'll be publishing to help encourage people to get out with their dogs to explore heritage sites around the country.
