#OnePlaceWednesday spent writing about C19 technological disruption (railways) while battling C21 technological disruption (printers) - both needed intervention. Had a stand-off with an HP Envy and pulled its miserable & begrudging plug out. Sorted. 🚂 #Licentiate #Thesis

“All Change” - Railway and Societal Alteration in Mid-Nineteenth-Century Rillington. Seriously folks, I’ve nearly completed my #Licentiate #Thesis #Railway @ihgs.bsky.social @rwldproject.bsky.social Currently proof-reading and stitching together, send strength! 🤓 🚂#OnePlaceWednesday

Tindall Bowman, Station Master is the gift that keeps on giving in my @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate study of the #railway in #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday A key player (musician) also - see what I did there?

#OnePlaceWednesday finds me knee-deep in analysis of who owned, rented or sold land to the York Scarborough #Railway Company. This map records plots in 1844. Interesting how the landscape altered and changed hands by 1848. Railways changed places quickly. #LocalHistory @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate

Tying up loose ends between the connection to Rillington Place and #Rillington #OnePlaceWednesday The eagle-eyed will spot two familiar street names in The Godfrey Edition of Notting Hill 1914 which reveal more clues. Writing up a narrative of the connected landowners. @ihgs.bsky.social #Licentiate
