Links between railways and slavery to be explored in new research project Universities and museums across Yorkshire and the North of England will explore the links between the railways and the global slave trade as part of a new research project.

Ha, that one is good as well!! #HowTheRailwaysWillFixTheFuture covers it in some detail, but there's another research project in the pipeline that will go into much greater detail on the subject.

(first one kicked off in 2021 with NRM/York uni inspired by my writing: www.york.ac.uk/news-and-eve...)

Ah no. I wasnt aware!! Could have totally plugged it. Cited the London reconnections OG instead

‘We didn’t want to be preachy’: David Attenborough’s unexpected new show – which might enrage cat lovers The great naturalist, who is about to turn 100, is still surprised by wildlife in his new series about British gardens. But not every pet owner will be happy with his top tips

“Every year, we unleash this scourge on the countryside. It’s messing with the ecology.”

Delighted to see David Attenborough’s new series will tackle pheasants, and how landowners release millions of them each year!

(The words are from Attenborough’s producer)

Feels like cheating because I posted this site yesterday as it's where I was working...

Wayland's Smithy on the Ridgeway, a 4th millennium BC long chambered tomb, and still a focus for human ritual behaviour.
