A participant on a guided tour spotted this awesome bit of graffiti today. It's in a 15th century vault in Southampton. What does it show I wonder? matthew champion Medieval Graffiti Southampton Hidden History Historic Southampton

I've just returned from Guernsey where I discovered a fascinating link to the south coast of England and, very probably, Southampton andyvskinner.wordpress.com/2024/08/04/a-r… Historic Southampton Southampton Hidden History Marie Keates @GuernseyMuseums VisitGuernsey

Definitely one of the earliest. I have a vague memory that there's one from the late 1880s somewhere?

For anyone attending this year's Romsey Show please come along and say hi! Chris's work on D-Day logistics is really inspirational, so well worth checking his work out!

A chance overhearing of a tour guide today has led to writing a new blog post about Tudor House's wonderful jetty. p.s.

I'm pleased to say 160 tickets for our next two history talks with Stephen Fisher and Andy Skinner both sold out in under 2 hours. But unlike those brothers from Manchester, everyone pays just the one same price for our gigs. £5. Great value I think.

I'll be gving this online talk about the role of Southampton in D-Day tonight (Tues 22nd) if anyone is around and interested. southamptonmuseumsandgallery.co.uk/events/southam…
