With our focus on #HouseHistories this #OnePlaceWednesday, here's a link to a recording of one of our past #OnePlaceStudy webinars for members back in 2020, when house historian Melanie Backe-Hansen treated us to a great presentation all about UK #HouseHistory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FP3_Fib1sqM

A number of our member-registered #OnePlaceStudies are #HouseHistories. The sources and techniques used for a #HouseHistory can be applied to a #StreetStudy or a wider #OnePlaceStudy, although it may not be feasible for the individual houses in larger studies to be researched in the same depth. #OnePlaceWednesday

In the UK, interest in #HouseHistory research has been given a boost in recent years by the BBC series A House Through Time.

Clips, and episodes available on iPlayer, can be viewed on the BBC website: https://bbc.co.uk/programmes/b09l64y9.

There is also a book, by David Olusoga and Melanie Backe-Hansen: https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/a-house-through-time-david-olusoga/1043734
