To remember all those who served Hucknall and to celebrate Hucknall Libraries' new digital scanner, I'm going through the Dispatch Newspaper, looking at the old pictures.
Here are a few I have found from 1943-1944.

Each of these pictures comes with a news article, which I'll add in a different post. Over the next few months, I hope to uncover pictures to share.

What stories or memories of the River Leen do you have?

I'm designing a tour around the Standard Hill area of Nottingham. Not only is the area where the English Civil War began it's also home to some the greatest medical minds in Nottingham history.

I'm looking forward to showing you the sights.

I've been out exploring Nottingham's Standard Hill area this morning, snapping photos for an upcoming tour. The stunning house at the top of the park stairs is undoubtedly the area's most photographed spot.

I'm heading to the National Archives at Kew for an international client.

Traveling to the Archives can be tough for some, so I'm happy to plan visits and conduct research.

It's a highlight of being a Genealogist - traveling to assist those who can't or struggle with places like London is rewarding.
