Book Description
For the times when you’re driving past a lumpy, bumpy field and you wonder what made the lumps and bumps; for when you’re walking between two lines of grand trees, wondering when and why they were planted; for when you see a brown heritage sign pointing to a ‘tumulus’ but you don’t know what to look for… Entertaining and factually rigorous, Hidden Histories will help you decipher the story of our landscape through the features you can see around you. This Spotter’s Guide arms the amateur explorer with the crucial information needed to ‘read’ the landscape and spot the human activities that have shaped our green and pleasant land. Photographs and diagrams point out specific details and typical examples to help the curious Spotter ‘get their eye in’ and understand what they’re looking at, or looking for. Specially commissioned illustrations bring to life the processes that shaped the landscape - from medieval ploughing to Roman road building - and stand-alone capsules explore interesting aspects of history such as the Highland Clearances or the coming of Christianity. This unique guide uncovers the hidden stories behind the country's landscape, making it the perfect companion for an exploration of our green and pleasant land.

Book Description
The Great War changed the world but at what cost in human lives. The loss of life during the conflict was tremendous and unprecedented. This book focuses on how the Allies dealt with the problem of disposing of the dead, both nationally,and locally in Hull, during this period. It examines the problem of war time burial at the front, the formation of the Imperial War Graves Commission and the problems that it faced in applying the principle of equality to the fallen. It also discusses the mass outpouring of public grief that culminated in the creation of the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior and the Cenotaph. It explains the creation of the typical war grave headstone and why it was designed in this way.The burial of the war dead in Hull General Cemetery, and the later removal of the war grave headstones, is fully explained and the story behind all the servicemen who lost their lives in the Great War and who have a link with Hull General Cemetery is recounted in detail with a number of rare images and personal documents of the fallen soldiers and sailors that brings their, often short, lives back into the light.
