In addition to her #RootsTech presentation #OnePlaceStudies: Studying a Village, @Liz has one with a different #OnePlaceStudy focus: #StreetStudies.
Find out how Liz is researching the history of her street and its residents—lots of great ideas on how you can do the same for the street where you live, or one that your ancestors inhabited! https://www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech/session/one-place-studies-studying-a-street

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.
The pub's entertainment connections, its role as a transport hub and meeting place, its managers and breweries, are all looked at.

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."

#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 http://ecclesoldroad.uk
