The crisis in UK higher education is worsening week by week — Exeter University is one of the best in the UK, with superb lecturers (and several You’re Dead To Me guests), but it’s planning massive job cuts in History, Archaeology, Classics — see the petition below to lend your voice in support

If you think #Exeter’s #CountessWear is just a roundabout and a filling station, take some time to explore the area further using #ExeterCivicSociety’s new guide to the history of the area.

The beginnings of Buddle Lane are 1920s rather than 1930s, started while post war housing aspirations were at a peak. Credit to Exeter for keeping going even when recession hit
