About Me
I have been researching the social history of the West Country for 45 years. During this time I have collated information on a wide range of people living and working in the West Country including miners, ethnic minorities, petty criminals, sailors, tommies, benefactors, brassmakers and many more. The thing that I find amazing is that ordinary people always lived extraordinary lives. I hope you like my blog that brings together my lifetime of research.

Death may our souls divide From these abodes of day But love shall keep us near his side Through all the gloomy way.

Tina Turner and now Glenda Jackson. Two of my heroes. I can't allow my contemporaries to keep dying. It really affects me.
