Historic England has launched a new service designed to encourage people across the country to explore their local history.
The local heritage hub offers content, including aerial photos, archive material, videos, and local stories, covering 400 locations across England, including every county, city, district, and major town.
Launched to coincide with this year’s local history month, Historic England says the service will continue to expand with new places, information and added sections.
Historic England chief executive Duncan Wilson said he hopes people across the country will be able to explore hidden histories, reconnect with their surroundings, and feel a sense of pride in their local area.
“I’d encourage everyone to explore the new local heritage hub and see what they might discover about a place that means something to them,” Wilson added.
