Berkshire is a small county but not just the rural county it is often depicted in history books. My research, talks and courses on the history of Berkshire include the impact of the arrival of the railways in Berkshire, the industrial revolution and the history of well known businesses that developed in the region such as Huntley & Palmer, Sutton Seeds and more. Contact me about these or enquire about other topics in this area.

" It was a really lovely talk and our members found it very interesting. I think you could probably tell that from the range of questions afterwards. You covered a huge breath of industrialisation and I found your comparison figures particularly interesting. "
Courses
Courses are typically two hours per session and can vary in length up to 10 weeks depending on requirements.
