Our Co-General Editor has been allowed out again, using the (top deck of a double decker), bus as a tool for understanding local history. #Skystorians

What I’m struck by is the embodied memory on this semI-rural route. There is no farm at Oakridge, Watts Cross is unmarked, Turner’s Nursery now under houses. Reminders of a lost mid century.
