Upcoming Events
Tues. 19th Feb. - Archaeology and the National Trust – a talk by Rosalind Buck 7.45 pm at Dore Old School
Ros works as an archaeologist for the National Trust and covers the East Midlands and Peak District. Her role involves advising regional properties on how to care for their archaeology, managing volunteers, and organising public engagement events. In her talk for Time Travellers, Ros will give an overview of some of the archaeology the Trust looks after in her region, and also take a closer look at the results and discoveries of recent survey work undertaken last summer on the Eastern Moors.
Time Travellers are very pleased to welcome Ros to talk to us. What is in prospect should prove as intriguing as interesting. As well as the wealth of already known archaeology in her area, it is rumoured that the flash-fire of 2017 tore across some 50 hectares of the Eastern Moors next to Sheffield revealing a similar number of archaeological features. It only leads to speculation as to what else lies waiting to be discovered. A night to put in the diary.
