Last of three tours in a week finished today. It was a private tour of a group I regularly speak to anyway. The rain stayed off! Great to see the Stuart Society left a wreath in honour of Culloden’s anniversary yesterday. #derby #historytour #guidedtours #tourguide

When you open up a rather ordinary looking rental from 1737 and the first thing you see is a lovely watercolour lying loose between the cover and the first page 😍

Pirates drank rum and gambled, didn't they? Under Captain Bartholomew Roberts, things were different. He preferred drinking tea and set out a code for his men to adhere to. Find out more in this post from the #voyagerofhistory archives. #historyblog wp.me/pagtWm-2M
