The sheer scale of coastal erosion along the Holderness Coastline is absolutely staggering! Compare the height of the boulder clay cliff to the people on the beach! No wonder 30 villages have been lost here… see: withernsea1.co.uk/CCO-LostVillag…

The early-15th century Stalls and Misericords in Beverley Minster are truly next level stunning 🤩

Come out to the coast. We’ll get together. Have a few laughs… 😝

It’s that time of year… 🐸

The start of last week’s Spring #Equilux over the Farne Islands and Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland 🌅

Met Office: ‘The equilux is when day and night are equal and occurs a few days before the spring equinox, and a few days after the autumn equinox’.

Really nice to see my book on display for the first time with all the other AASDN monographs & journals at yesterday’s Durham County Council #Archaeology Day. The publications are available here: aasdn.org.uk/monographs.htm

As part of a wellbeing project, we will be test-pitting on a former residential site in Durham. Following Durham County Council’s ‘D’ village policy, much of Waterhouses was demolished. Gary Bankhead. Ewan Gibbs Dr Louise Powell Changing Landscapes Research Network Archie Robson Old Northern Curio
