Teresa Metcalfe spotted her mum in this 70yr old photo of #Hawes children having lunch at school. Interestingly, Teresa’s Gran was the school cook for 31yrs, and her Grandad Edwin was the caretaker. #community #StoryOfSchools

A different take on the #ExploreYourArchive business & manufacturing theme...

Many of us have become used to #WorkingFromHome over the last year - yet it was the norm for many #Victorian women to undertake piecework like sewing & button-making at home

Just received a lovely email from a listener in Australia whose heart is still in the Dales❤️"It brought tears to my eyes. Such wonderful memories. But more importantly, to hear my accent!" Thanks @richmond_today for sharing @MusDevYorks #voices #heritage
