Webpage | James goes all over the Fylde Coast, looking for the past, and uncovering local history today.

Published by Visit Fylde Coast.com, Sunday 20th January 2013.

James had got into conversation with us following a discussion on Facebook about the petrified forest that can be seen on Cleveleys beach.

He’s obviously got a fascinating hobby, so as we’re fascinated in everybody and everything, we persuaded James to tell us more.

If anyone out there also enjoys uncovering the past then please get in touch, or James might just inspire you to discover local history!

Blog Post | Yorkshire’s hoard of mysterious silver and gold

Posted by , Thursday 15 November 2012. guardian.co.uk

There’s a lot going off in Wakefield at the moment, in spite of hard times, with the Hepworth Wakefield doing consistently well, the Trinity Walk shopping centre adding commercial life and now a newly reorganised museum for the city.

This last, along with its sister centre at Pontefract, is energising local young people – it’s included in the Young Archaeologists’ Club annual pass and has just had its first school group in.

It’s also timely for the sort of appeal which appeals to the youthful of any age: a mysterious hoard of treasure has been found at Ackworth and Wakefield council needs £5,500 to help keep it in the district. Who was the fugitive or thief who took a brown clay pot, made locally in Wrenthorpe, and stashed it with 591 gold and silver coins before burying it, probably at the height of the English Civil War?
