Local History

Please check out the 'Pocket Histories' section of my website: [link] it's full of 'bite-size' histories and pictures of our local heritage and I'd love you to get in touch with me and let me know of ones you'd like to see added to the list!

Thank you :)

Hey guys,

Not really blogged much on here but there is something I wanted to share with you.  I've started a personal project (which may lead to more) called Pocket Histories.  It basically combines a short 'bite-size' history of a place along with a photo or two of it.  

You can have a look at the ones I've done so far on my website, here: [link]

Firstly, I thought it might just be interesting for you to have a look at, as we're all from the North East it's nice to read a bit about our heritage... but secondly, I'd quite like some interaction from you too.  If you've been somewhere in the North East that you think would make a great addition to Pocket Histories, I'd love you to tell me a bit about it and where it is and hopefully I can go there at some point and add it to the page.  There are a few I've done that I haven't put on the website yet, so they are being added to constantly but please do let me know if a particular place interests you.  I'm a huge fan of anything with industrial decay, just like Dunston Staithes: [link]

I'd love this to build and for people to get as passionate about their local areas as I have while doing this :).

Is this group still active? I applied a few days ago and haven't had a response.

I'm a photographer in Newcastle, hoping to get in touch with some other locals.

It is still active. I, and likely the other admins have just had a busy week.

Hi there, sorry about the long wait for a reply.

On the deviation page, close to the bottom where the picture statistics and tech details are, there is a small box on the right side that says Thumb. Just copy paste the contents of that box.

I hope that helps :)
