Standing like a colossus outside New Zealand's National Stadium is the tribute to the father of All Black Rugby Dave Gallaher. Born in Ireland in 1873 and one of the first settlers to New Zealand, Gallaher would die from his wounds during the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917. He rests in Belgium.

It’s happening! We’re getting ready to relocate to our new home in High Wycombe and will be temporarily closed to onsite visitors from 1 October 2026. This is so we can safely pack up and move all our collections to Denmark St, where we’re looking forward to welcoming you in Spring 2027.

Leatherbound quarter session rolls on archive shelving, the image tinted blue. Text is placed over the background in white font, saying 'Upcoming Temporary Closure'.

When browsing the internet was delighted to come across this photo of Oxgate Farm Cricklewood. Where my Joseph Payne and 4 others lived in 2 rooms in 1921. I must visit before it is lost one #OnePlaceWedneaday

#WorldLetterWritingDay. So appreciate the distant cousins that kept so many postcards from back in the day. In this one it would seem someone went off to war and left Grandad with Spot the dog.

My 3xggf was in the Wigan Observer in 1870 having been accused, with several others, of 'keeping dogs without having procured licences'. His case was the only one dismissed. 😄

Given my failed attempt to research on #OnePlaceWednesday due to the granddog sitting recently. I think I've found a solution, so the rest of the day will be spent researching dog licences in the UK and Ireland.

I’m spending #OnePlaceWednesday having a good sort out of materials old and new. I need to create space as I gather more projects. Came across this and wondered if any one else remembers Eve McLaughlin. She was a major help to local people starting out on a FH journey back in the early 80’s

Busy #OnePlaceWednesday today writing up my #Stanmore family history for a recent DNA match. Also thought i’d write up my recent Liverpool trip where of course we found a graveyard and I tried to take myself back to Gt Grandfathers trip up the Mersey 🎼 in a town where he was born

Was thrilled to find this newspaper celebrating Victoria’s diamond jubilee in June 1897. Found in an old antiquities shop for a mere £2.00 has an amazing article about London at the beginning of the Queens reign 1837.

As a young person l spent hours scrolling catalogues to purchase clothes that l could buy for a reasonable shilling or two a month. This #OnePlaceWednesday l am still scrolling catalogues but now it’s local history societies, libraries and planning my visits.

Rome was amazing but yesterday was what we really came to do. Pay thanks to the boys of the #RoyalWestKentRegiment &others who lost their lives in Cassino. Michael Crosby in particular a family member. A tragic story which includes much incompetence at the cost of so many #LestWeForget

Produced by Leeds born artist and campaigner Emily Susan Ford (1850–1930) the poster was a protest against the various Factory Acts where the regulations governing women's work were made by men without consulting women workers. Born into a politically active Quaker family

Delighted to hear this news. In my #OnePlaceStudy time capsule 1939-1962 this building played an important part for the lives of local polish airmen and a place where my own grandfather took up ball room dancing in the 50’s.
