Another Gem

 A new book arrived in the post today and I know this is going to be a cracker.  I saw it last week in "Special Collections" at MMU ( a new discovery - also likely to have a big impact on my work). 

  
"The Lakes to Tyneside" published in 1951 by Festival of Britain office - it is a wonderful collection of maps, photographs, natural history "its people and their work and characteristics".  It is part of a series  so I'm sure at 99p I shall but more.
I have connections with Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland, the Lake District and Manchester and references to these places feature in my work
