Episode 11

Whilst the snow is falling outside, it's an ideal time to catch up with my fellow travelers!

It was a year ago when I started Roland’s Travels, my Substack blog/newsletter. It’s been wonderful to see many become free subscribers. The link is https://www.rolandmillward.com where you too can read my blog and subscribe.

Many find history boring. The reality, though, is that it has been the way it was taught to them rather than the subject. There is much to learn from history and people's lives throughout the ages. My guest today is Annette Laing, author of Non-Boring History, a blog which does what it says in the title. I recommend you take a look at Annette's blog and enjoy her explanation of history. You can either be a FREE or paid subscriber, I chose to become a paid one, and it's only a modest amount to help her cover the costs. 

Annette also has a website where you can find out more about her and her work. 

Don't forget to subscribe to my blog, Roland's Travels and join me on my journeys and the search for interesting places and history.

I also have a Roland's Travels YouTube Channel, please take a look today. 

The Great Plague was devasting for many cities in England, and when it reached the village of Eyam, it could have spread across the north of the country. In this interview, we hear from Owen Roberts, the curator of Eyam Museum. Owen tells us about the plague and how it affected those villagers and how the museum has exhibits they use to relate the story to visitors. 

To find out more about the museum opening times and more, here is a link to the website.
