July 25, 2023New ALHA book now in stock!
Did you know that Avon Local History & Archaeology (ALHA) have produced a series of booklets on many aspects of Avon’s History? These are great for providing social history context to people researching family in this area.
The latest in this series is The Shirehampton Remount Depot (1914-1927) by Richard Coates and is now available from our webshop. The Shirehampton Remount Depot was a major supply base in WW1 for the war-trained horses needed in great numbers to replace those lost at the front.
Richard Coates was Professor of Linguistics at UWE and we are delighted that he will be presenting a talk to BAFHS in September on National and Local Surnames.
