History

A great new-ish site is starting to evolve. It is worth a look, and has a great entry by myself, too! It is lots of history trails, and individuals research including piccies and the like.
 It is a little difficult to find your way around, but try the 'Gallery' link, and also they have some good useful links. Worth bookmarking, I reckon.
The site is http://www.ngfl.gov.uk/localhistory/gallery.php
I hope it is of interest to somebody.
Best

Although primarily a link for A Level studies, still a useful link for all interested. I have found the contents of this site very interesting.
