Local history

Doing anything this weekend? You should. If you’re local to the Tottenham, Wood Green, Edmonton etc. area, Brook Street Chapel on Tottenham High Road is having an open afternoon to look around the historic building. It’s a fairly rare opportunity, and should be very interesting, linking as it does Dr Barnado with Hudson Taylor, Luke Howard and other local celebrity types.

Full details here.

I have the joyful experience of a day off today, so I’m going to spend it wisely (honest). This morning seems to be out of the picture already, swallowed up in interneting (really, no different to if I was at work then…), but this afternoon should be a bit productive. I’ll be stoking my local history fires with a talk at Bruce Castle Museum about the church I go to: that’s right, I Am A Part Of History. Then, greasy spoon lunch, shopping, dinner, and ting. I should take more of these days off.
