I'm not a Historian by profession - merely an (over) enthusiastic amateur. By day I'm a Professor of Genetics at Newcastle University with a translation research interest in rare bone diseases. At weekends I can be classified as a Yorkshire Cricket & Psychedelic Rock fan, but mostly I'm just on the Fells (or in the pub - when they were open!).

The ‘smokeless sentries’ of Bolt’s Law…..
Rowley Burn…..
Derbyshire signs AD 1908
A stroll around Warkworth…..
Northumberland White Horses…….
A day in the Scottish Borders…..
