Yippee, I #blogged! #Today I've been writing about our local pub, the Brickmaker's Arms in #Berkswell, and the family who lived there in 1839 and for most of the century before that (long before it was a pub!). Would they have been thrilled or horrified to know what happened to their family home after they left?

#today was a glorious morning so I walked through #OldnallEnd to #Berkswell. On the way I passed through what in 1839 was called Ram Field. I think its new residents might have something to say about that name!

Glorious, cold, misty morning #today on the Greenway in #OldnallEnd between #BalsallCommon and #BurtonGreen. The trees on the horizon form the boundary between fields that in 1839 were called Middle Close and Far Close, named for their position in relation to a farmstead now long gone.

And I blogged! It's been a long LONG time since I made a #blog post, but I want to share what I find about the people and places of #OldnallEnd and this will hopefully keep me writing. The first post is a reflection on how I got here (with fervent thanks to the #OnePlaceStudies community!)
