I'm Rosie, a volunteer with the Workers Educational Association (WEA) up in the North of England. We're currently putting together a guided walk app, 'The Routes of Social Change.' Many of my entries will refer to places and people along the walk route. I'm a historian with an interest in social, domestic and political history with an emphasis on history from below.

It's surprising how many people are hiding in the archival records. For example, words and images from the First World War can turn up in letters and diaries. Tommy Rot is slang for nonsense or rot, with humourous and affectionate connotations.
