Steve Pickthall’s #OnePlaceStudy of Shrivenham Railway Station has recently been registered with us! Located in a part of #Berkshire that is now in #Oxfordshire, the station opened in 1840 and closed in 1964/5. Check out Steve’s OPS website and our OPS profile page. #OnePlaceWednesday
Had an exciting morning on Saturday, meetings to discuss 2 forthcoming educational offerings from @oneplacestudies.bsky.social! Both will be online & free of charge for members. And any research you do for #OnePlaceCarers will stand you in good stead for one of them 😉🤐

And in 1875, Miss Heatley (not a Waters Upton resident as far as I know): waters-upton.uk/land/newspap... (scroll down a bit)

You have until the end of June to submit your talk proposals for this year’s #AATP!
