HISTORY ALL AROUND US

Remember our discussion we had on the different views of history and one being: "I thought about how wonderfully strange it would be to live in a place where almost everything had been built by the dead."

Linked to this idea is that history is all around us.  A walk around where we live often reminds us of this.  For example, where I live sharing the wall of a churchyard is a Victorian postbox.  These are becoming rarer to find.  The V R stands for Victoria Regina - Queen Victoria.
