#CombatCartography; Gladbeck & Buer 1944.

The recordings from #GuildOneName Studies seminar on Hops, Pubs and People are now available in the Members' Room one-name.org/hops-pubs-an...
Father’s Day is a coming, why not gift a piece of history?
Our maps cater to many specialist interests including transport, religion, literature, geography, genealogy & of course *sport*!
Grounds include Old Trafford, Anfield, St James’, Wembley, The Oval, Lords, Wimbledon, racecourses & many more!
We did it!
Thank you map/history/transport/Genealogy/sport/pun/etc lovers ❤️
I wonder how long until we hit 2,000?
Just to remind you of our forthcoming Family History Fair. Hope many of you can come and support the event. There is something for everyone so do come along. #familyhistory #genealogy.

This map hints at what might have been; a #London Eiffel Tower!
We include, alongside our reproduced map and specially written essay by Wembley Historical Society’s Geoffrey Hewlett, designs of several proposed towers, a street directory and contemporary adverts related to the park.
