@AlanRos44521375 Love the pics especially for bringing back such great memories. Love the Lewis hole too - they’re key to research we’re doing on a submerged structure at Sunderland at the moment. Well done for capturing the images back in day before RH came along and piqued your interest 👍🏼👏🤩
Pentire, looking towards the Rumps: an Iron Age promontory fort where multiple ramparts step across the neck of land, turning sea‑cliffs into stronghold.
The 1855 Russian Cannon on Palace Green, soundtracked by the piercing cries of the Ely Cathedral peregrine falcons overhead.

Fox News Digital reports the decades-long mystery of the Archbishop of Canterbury hoard is finally solved — with the full story revealed in my new book.
From discovery in the River Wear to how it got there, a remarkable chapter in Durham’s history...

Bamburgh, Northumberland. May sunshine and sea pinks in bloom! Love the contrast of these delicate flowers against the rugged coast and the castle in the distance.

@AmandaChadburn@DrFrancisYoung That’s quite correct, and a discovery that really changed my life. Ramsey was before my time, but I’ve spoken to so many here in Durham who remember him fondly.
@Fehlermaker@DrFrancisYoung That’s a fair reaction — the Fox News piece only sketches the outline. The fuller explanation of why, and how it fits into a longer pattern of deliberate deposition, is set out in detail in the book.
