We all love a good origin story, and here's one you might not expect to find at the National Trust: #HGWells, the father of #sciencefiction! Discover just how the twists, turns and tunnels of Uppark House inspired his writing, and shaped his early life.

This isn't Beatrix Potter, but these two certainly are! Beatrix's entire life was caught on camera from a young age, as her father Rupert was a keen photographer. Many of his photographs are now kept in the V&A, and in National Trust collections 📸

researching the histories of open space activism in Manchester & Salford has changed how I connect with my hometown, where I once thought my love for hills & moorland and open air was irrelevant. I'm excited to share some of these stories on 19th March:.

Such a special day at work. Talking all things plague, 17th century lockdowns, myths, folklore and community. A visit to the @nationaltrust Riley Graves and of course @EyamMuseum for a very special recording. 🎧🎤

Still loads of time to join us in #Manchester for an exciting #InternationalWomensDay talk about one of the city's pioneering women! It's free, we've got plenty brews, and it's a chance to step foot into one of Manchester's most radical buildings.
