Historians: I'm writing about the Battle of Lewisham and New Cross Fire for people not likely to have studied them. What resources can I point my reader to that centre community experiences of these events over national reporting? Doesn't need to be academic. Thanks.

Looking forward to our 5.30pm Wed @IHR_ContBritHist online seminar when Dr Edda Nicolson will be presenting her History @ Wolves PhD research on how the course of trade union history was changed when WW1 saw patriotism crowd out internationalism at General Federation of Trade Unions Book now: history.ac.uk/events/fratern…

Looking forward to this a little later #tradeunionhistory

Excellent talk - thanks Dr Edda Nicolson And definitely some stuff I need to have a further chat about some time. Esp connections I hadn't thought of with a PhD I'm supervising on masculinity and PoWs

It took 16 seasons for the 4th wall to be broken in the werk room #DragRace

This is such a serious issue & happening all too frequently. In addition the closure of history in local universities means the opportunity for students to engage in the history of their own communities is slowly ebbing away #historyalwaysmatters

Next up...

Now I'd like to know too... 🤔

5.30pm on Wed June 5th: online seminar George Gosling & @alix_green will be introducing their new Bristol Uni Press book using English experiences and international encounters to rethink modern charitable, co-operative and commercial retail histories. Book now: tinyurl.com/msj3jmf2

What a fascinating paper! 👏 Opened so many windows onto important questions about the relationship between public and private grief, whose anger is legitimate, and so much more. Heading home with a head full of thoughts.

We're delighted that Bristol Uni Press are offering a special 50% off discount for the new Retail & Community edited collection. George Gosling and @alix_green will be sharing the code in their online seminar next Wednesday. Book now: tinyurl.com/msj3jmf2

When we started work on this book, I knew it was about how charity shops were part of a broader retail history. I didn't realise it would also be about how British communities and the end of empire were part of both local and global histories. Find out more...

This looks fab 👏

*Adds to reading lists*

Looking forward to joining @alix_green later today to reflect on what it means to take a 'local to global' view in rethinking narratives around the decline of the high street - and sharing the 50% discount code for our new book
