#WMFHS had a similar house history enquiry this week. Change of road name, small runs of villas and cottages renumbered, some demolished to make way for a block of flats. Street directories, electoral rolls, censuses and newspapers got us there in the end. The house is still standing!

A resounding round of applause for #NickBarratt who entertained us last night at #WMFHS with his talk on “Who Do You Think You Are”. No notes, no slides - just the man himself talking about the show, its history, and what it means for history and the audience.
