HistoricalHere I will post information on historical sites that I visit. These may include industrial sites such as iron works or lime works and also some oddities of the past that need to be preserved. As is the case with much of my content I will include many sites that are either derelict or in a poor condition and may be overlooked because of their condition or location. many of these sites I find have fascinating history to them.
I currently cross-post the same information across two blogs, Blogger site and Behance.
