A House Through Time

Alexa that programme sounds good. I must have missed it.

Grammaretto, they are a wonderful way to learn history.

I found it fascinating and hope there will be an exploration of other houses in other areas

I love this programme. I hated history at school - just kings killing people ad lib.

But this is about real people and their daily lives - brilliant!

Luckygirl this explains how history writing and teaching has changed since then (Wikipedia)

" New Social History movement
The "new social history" exploded on the scene in the 1960s, quickly becoming one of the dominant styles of historiography in the U.S., Britain and Canada. "

There's a lot written about the new way of writing history and about how the new historians focus on the small events .

I really enjoyed the last series, probably because I know Newcastle so well. I think the presenter is very pleasant, and for once there isn't too much music in the background!
