Another superb @evertonheritage.bsky.social talk/social event at @denbighcastle.bsky.social , last night. Paul McParlan chatted with @lewisroyden.bsky.social about the Toffees' title-winning team of 1986/87. Thanks for the great support for these events.

Brilliant day yesterday filming for The Everton Heritage show presented by @lewisroyden.bsky.social with Brendan Connolly and his incredible memorabilia collection. Then to the @denbighcastle.bsky.social for our @evertonheritage.bsky.social night with Paul McParlan, again presented by Lewis. 🙌👏💙

More on the promontory fort at Helsby, #Cheshire - as mapped by the OS at the turn of the C19-20, and on a recent satellite view. The massive sandstone ridge is obvious even from above, & the earthworks visible to varying degrees, depending on land-use. #HillfortsWednesday

We are looking forward to our third talk/social night event, tomorrow evening. Paul McParlan will be talking all things Everton 1986/87 at the Denbigh Castle. To register for the waiting list, visit: efcheritagesociety.com/heritage-tal...

Wow @wildtwin.bsky.social this is brilliant! In Halewood (part of Knowsley), the first library there was built opposite our house. I spent hours in there from aged 8 upwards. It was an absolute gift to have it there. This is a great cause.

The Everton village lock up, with @evertonstadium.com in the distance, last night. @mikeroyden.bsky.social writes about the history of the lock up (and its links to EFC) in a recent @evertonheritage.bsky.social article: efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

A great conversation between Jamie Yates and @lewisroyden.bsky.social about the areas of EFC historical research carried out by the former (George Farmer, Thomas Keates and more). youtube.com/watch?v=MBa_...

The latest article on our website sees @mikeroyden.bsky.social (pictured here with Ronny Goodlass) delve into the history of the Everton district and how it was mapped. He goes on to explain how the lock up tower came to be a symbol of EFC. efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

Mapping the Lock Up and the History of the Everton Crest. A fantastic deep dive by @mikeroyden.bsky.social into the history of the Everton district, the beacon, the lock up - and story of our famous club crest. Top class Evertonia. efcheritagesociety.com/mapping-the-...

On a plateau above the River Ure in North Yorkshire stand the remarkable Thornborough Henges, three vast, identical Neolithic earthworks built around 2500 BC. Aligned north-west to south-east over more than 3 kilometres, each henge measures about 250 metres across The overall 1/6

The other thing I've been thinking about that hoard - there was no opportunity, none at all, for the heritage community, the public to intervene to stop this. 1/4 #Archaeology #Detecting #Treasure www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When introduced to Pat Nevin last night, he speculated in a playful manner that I may have been public school educated. I managed to resist the urge to cave his head in.

Brilliant thread by @mikeygow.bsky.social

The fate of Leigh Roose, the celebrated goalkeeper, was a mystery for many decades until @spencervignes.bsky.social uncovered the sad truth. Please watch our new film by @mikeroyden.bsky.social & @lewisroyden.bsky.social about Roose’s remarkable life. efcheritagesociety.com/this-prince-...

Here's a clip of @mikeroyden.bsky.social from the latest Everton Heritage Show episode, which focuses on those linked to EFC who served, and in some cases, died, in the two world wars. To see more, visit: efcheritagesociety.com/heritage-pod...

Disappointing result obviously, but did enjoy seeing this article in the official match day programme on behalf of @evertonheritage.bsky.social . @lewisroyden.bsky.social and I also made a documentary about Leigh Roose, please visit here; youtu.be/qujY7HfXe6U?si…#Evertonon

Looking forward to this! First in series of monthly talks for the reminder of the 2025/26 season. Credit to @mikeroyden.bsky.social for driving this, and hopefully something that’s going to be a regular event moving forward. #Everton #UTFT

Very enjoyable experience, plus a record attendance I’m told. Many thanks to all members and your kind comments.

Happy Birthday to @lewisroyden.bsky.social ! 🥳 Great day yesterday, especially as @liamroyden.bsky.social made it up from that London, and we were all together for the first time at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. What a game and a great result! 💙💙💙

I was reminded recently of a favourite Samian bowl in the Grosvenor Museum, Chester. As well as modern repairs it has Roman lead rivets to hold sections together, one in a long line of prehistoric and historic repairs indicating ongoing value after breakage. More on the blog: wp.me/pcZwQK-8Ef
