  13. Britton Street: what you can find out by close study of buildings and their fabric. A short film made by the Survey of #London looking at "the history of this street in #Clerkenwell, an historic area in the eastern part of central London, and what can be deduced about the buildings by close examination of their features and fabric."

    Thanks to Pete Herring on Twitter for sharing this.

  17. The latest blog post from the Loughborough Road (South #London) #OnePlaceStudy is a short history of the Old White Horse on the corner of Loughborough Road and Brixton Road.

  19. The British Association for #LocalHistory has launched this year's Local History Photographer of the Year competition.

    The theme for 2023 is Up My Street - "we would like to see street images in your area, with a context of local history. These could include a street view, a building, some street furniture or a little detail on a wall or the pavement."

  21. #StreetStudies are #OnePlaceStudies focussing on streets, squares and the like, typically in larger towns and cities where a #OnePlaceStudy of the whole settlement is not feasible.

    As with any OPS they combine #FamilyHistory and #LocalHistory, considering the place, its people, and their interlinked histories.

    An example of a member-registered #StreetStudy is Eccles Old Road, #Salford OPS. Check out ecclesoldroad.uk
