TIL: #Automotive #research centre Thatcham Research is indeed called that because its based in #Thatcham (near #Newbury in Southern England)
I'm surprised so many people don't wear a #seatBelt in #cars even today - I can remember when they were uncomfortable and ill-fitting but they have vastly improved over the years and I almost feel naked if I haven't put mine on..

Have been doing a bit more work on refreshing my website, got a few news posts to go, just need to finish the podcast section off - things are progressing. In mean time continuing research on Dunston House, #Thatcham - see https://nickbits.co.uk/blog/2023/10/the-dunston-estate/ . Got a few new names connected to it, would like to track down what happened to materials that were sold off, know some already. Thinking this is going to be a BIG research project

Have just updated my list of #Thatcham (and a few #Newbury) history talks I do - see @nickbits https://nickbits.co.uk/about/mytalks/ . The view below is of Broad Street, Thatcham as it was c.1900, and yes at the time it was a village and not a town - https://nickbits.co.uk/blog/2024/08/thatcham-a-village-or-town/

Many still think #Thatcham is a village and I actually still say I am going to "The Village" (meaning the town centre / shops) but we have been a town since 1974. See my @nickbits blog for more details - https://nickbits.co.uk/blog/2024/08/thatcham-a-village-or-town/

I wrote a post ( https://nickbits.co.uk/blog/2018/03/thatcham-britains-oldest-inhabited-settlement/ ) on my blog back in 2018 - "Is #Thatcham Britain’s oldest inhabited settlement?" where I noted about the Saxon origins. As more archaeology (reports) has become available I have become more convinced that Saxon Thatcham lay just to the south west of the church, with possibly a bit extending northwards. I will write a new version of the post with the updated evidence and a map. In mean time see where the name #Thatcham comes from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U9jYQTqwjE (thanks to SoG)

Got two of these (
ulanzi ) #VIJIM VL81 Bi-Colour LED during the pandemic for doing remote schooling & some #Thatcham history talks online. They have been brilliant, several people ask me what camera i use as video is good, just a cheap webcam with good lighting. Battery now going on them and switch issues on other. Lasted well, time to replace. -

Looking at the Belfast Telegraph 15 June 1872 via @BNArchive and it rightly has Mark Tuck (https://nickbits.co.uk/blog/2022/03/berkshire-blake-and-the-stocks/) of #Newbury placed in the stocks. It says stocks not used for 26 years. Article even then was wrong. Got several uses in the late 1840s and 1850s. Indeed got a growing list around this time of those put in both #Newbury and #Thatcham stocks and a few in #Greenham and #Donnington and #Speenhamland.

Was asked yesterday about Heartstart #Thatcham - see http://bit.ly/442Glpc and find out why I started it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVmDGu2SYec - I do still help with defibrillators/AEDs and teach CPR when I can in the local community.

I have started, re-started, my Roman #Thatcham research. Putting all references in some sort of order, mapping out finds, etc. Will be looking at, I hope, some finds later in the year. Preparing for a talk and perhaps something to print (booklet?) in 2026 on "Roman Thatcham".
