For #WorldBookDay here's The Making of the English Landscape by W G Hoskins, the book that kickstarted the discipline of #LandscapeHistory. 71 years old now but still a fascinating read. Do track down a copy if the subject interests you 📖

THREAD. Well, here’s a #landscapehistory puzzle: it’s a small moated site in Great Eversden, Cambs. The moat was originally filled from a stream that runs just beyond the boundary in the centre-R middle distance. The puzzle is the moat's age and purpose.

Winter walk at Connecticut's Quarry Head State Park & the Harrison Preserve. Granite from here was used for millstones for Wilton's grist mills from the mid-18th century, & later for foundations & windows at the Singer sewing machine factory in Elizabeth, NJ. Now public land.🌍 #landscapehistory

Another site visit from last week in the snow, on the way back from Liverpool: Eastham Victorian Pleasure Gardens, largely forgotten and mostly overgrown. Despite all, the place survived remarkably well, although needs substantial clearing to be fully appreciated.

The last of my snowy site visits was to Flaybrick Memorial Gardens in the Wirral. A Grade II* Registered Park and Garden, also a Heritage at Risk site, whose designer, Edward Kemp (1817-1891), is also buried here.

THREAD. So much rain has the fields floating in water. Not quite the conditions yet of 2021 - the images in this thread - but, in the east of England, still a practical lesson explaining so much about land use before under-field drainage began in the 17thC.

The wonder of newspaper cuttings! This one is a great insight into the moment when in 1951 Brenda Colvin made history by becoming the first woman president of the Institute of Landscape Architects and the Evening Standard reporting it with the title ‘First Woman Chief’ #landscapehistory

The longest and most rewarding of my site visits in the snow last week was at Bramham Park. In glorious weather, firm snow, and with generous hosting by the owner, it was a truly unforgettable experience in one of England's finest historic designed landscapes.

Tucked beside the ancient walls of St Michael's Church in Aylsham lies the resting place of Humphry Repton (1752–1818), the last great landscape gardener of the Georgian age.
