Recent posts – Montgomery
I finally finished another really long post. This one on Montgomery Gardens
This took a long time to write because I decided to write about Lord Montgomery of El Alamein. I’m not sure whether the road is named after him or not, but he was an interesting character and a significant man.
I found an article written by a man who visited Montgomery in his retirement to show him how to play the football pool. I didn’t use it in my post, but I enjoyed reading it:
The next post will be about Montague Road in Harnham.
A video of the tornado ‘over’ Salisbury
Further to the Salisbury Journal story about a tornado that I mentioned in a previous post, a video has been uploaded to YouTube:
You can see part of the city with the tornado in the background, but I can’t quite place which part of Salisbury it is.
Salisbury on the ‘English Buildings’ blog
I found an interesting website that covers buildings in England. The author covers less obvious buildings – and this is what he’s done in his three posts on Salisbury:
- English Buildings: Salisbury, Wiltshire post 1
- English Buildings: Salisbury, Wiltshire post 2
- English Buildings: Salisbury, Wiltshire post 3
David Starkey’s Henry VIII podcasts
Finally, for now, I recommend the recordings of three lectures by David Starkey on King Henry VIII
Update: I’ve since listened to the podcast on the same site by Philippa Gregory (author of ‘The Other Boleyn Girl’) – it’s also very good!
