ABOUT ME...

I am an archaeologist and historian. I grew up in York and became very interested in the history of that city. I love looking at old maps and seeing how the area has changed, and which historical gems still survive.
I started working in archaeology on an excavation in York in the mid 1980’s, and by 2000 I had moved into the East Riding area.
Archaeological work has allowed me to excavate sites of many different periods, from Iron Age to modern, discovering items left behind by the people who lived and worked in those areas generations ago.
This work and personal research of York’s history, allows me to continue creating new talks which will be added here.

I was a professional newspaper photographer for over 35 years, three decades of which were spent in Blackpool. During this time I amassed a wide variety of anecdotes and stories relating to the celebrities, crazy characters and rather dicey situations I found myself in! I have now collated these and created a 50 minute talk, including photographs that I project, depicting a career that included landing a light aircraft while the pilot looked for his beta blockers, climbing into a rattlesnake’s cage, and Melinda Messenger’s knickers. I am happy to take questions following my talk. Fees by arrangement (minimum £50 plus travel expenses of 40p per mile for talks more than 10 miles from Sheffield)
