Good morning, world! I’m up, showered, dressed, (almost) fed, and ready to see how Day 1 of #AllAboutThatPlace has gone. #FamilyHistory and #Genealogy folks, did I mention it’s all free? 10 days of #OnePlaceStudies fun and learning.https://m.facebook.com/groups/allaboutthatplace/

Proof reading the next, bumper, edition of Destinations, the @OnePlaceStudies journal. Some excellent '10' themed articles there - thank you everyone who contributed. #OnePlaceStudies.

@SocOnePlaceStudies Not too far from my #OnePlaceStudies place! Good to have a neighbour.

@AllThoseBefore @SocOnePlaceStudies :(

@creature I lament the loss of the coffee cup holder on computers.

Sorting out notes from the Oxford Advanced Undergraduate Diploma in Local History whilst awaiting the results.

Filled in the registration documents for Lancaster's PGCert in Regional and Local History.

Onwards...

Fascinated by the relationship between what is in the ground and what happens above ground. Goldscope mine, Newlands, my #OPSForFree place.

My talk at All About That Place is on this topic, but that is about Springhill.

@OurAncestors Mandy Smith married Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones. Mandy's mother married Bill Wyman's son. Mandy was her own grandma, also her mothers' mother in law.

Working on an article for Destinations, the @OnePlaceStudies journal today. Why did people in my #OPSForFree place of Newlands die in droves in the 1590s? #OnePlaceStudies

Hi, I'm Janet Barrie. My main interests are #OnePlaceStudies (Springhill in Rossendale, Lancs and Newlands in Cumbria). Also occasional posts on anaesthesia, birding and BurnleyFC.
