Hardacre Farm

Have there been many structural changes made? If only walls could talk - imagine the stories they could tell us?

Financial Exclusion and the Poverty Trap
This book addresses one of the main causes of poverty, financial exclusion – the inability to access finance from the high-street banks. People on low or irregular incomes typically have to resort to loan sharks, ‘doorstep lenders’ and other informal credit sources, a predicament which makes escape from the poverty trap doubly difficult. This book will be vital reading for those concerned with social policy, microfinance and anti-poverty policies in industrialised countries and around the world.
Aisne 1918
This battlefield guide and history will focus mainly on the events of attack that fell on the British sector of the front between the 27th _ 1st June 1918, although the offensive which also befell the French forces will not be totally neglected. This area had been a French held sector since 1915 and the French had fought one of its major engagements of the war here in 1917, the ill-fated Nivelle Offensive. French monuments and cemeteries dominate the landscape. The British were also here in 1914, and they too have left reminders of their relative brief presence. However, the actions fought here early in the war tend to be found mainly to the west of the sector. The battlefield of May 1918 scales the heights of the Chemin des Dames ridge, along the Californe Plateau and descends to afforested valley of the Aisne river and canal. The retreat of the Britsh forces during the course of the first day and in following days extends further south almost to the Marne and takes in part of the Champagne region.
Grim and Gruesome Plymouth; 1860-1959
This book covers one hundred selected newspaper stories of crime and unfortunate events that have occurred in and around Plymouth, Devon, between 1860 and 1959 and recorded in papers across the country. Thanks to the British Newspaper Archives in partnership with the British Library, who are digitising forty million newspaper pages from the library's vast collection, I have selected a number of articles from each decade to share with you.

Join me on a trip through time, starting in the cobbled streets of old Plymouth. Meet the victims and perpetrators; Clare Hannaford, William Symons, Herbert Atwell, Thomas Coombe, Clara Gregory, Elliot Square, Ned Edwards, Jean Brown..... tales of mishap, tragedy and foul play.
Dark Tales of Victorian Plymouth 1850-1899
'Dark tales of Victorian Plymouth 1850-1899' is a follow-on book to 'Grim and Gruesome Plymouth, 1860-1959.' In this volume I shall cover fifty years of unpleasant events across the 'Three Towns' - forty of those years were covered in my previous book, but in which I had to omit so many stories, so that I could give further coverage of events in the one hundred years that the title suggested. Victorian Plymouth, Stonehouse and Devonport, often referred to as the 'Three Towns, ' were much smaller by comparison than today; though the overcrowding of housing was on a much larger scale - even more so than in densely populated London and Liverpool. The luxury of a garden was the pleasure known on...
Robin's Great Adventure: And Other Stories.
Robin's Great Adventure: This is the true story of a boy called Robin who wanted to be an explorer, an adventurer. Maybe travel the world, visit the deserts and jungles and climb snowy mountains. Born in Germany at the end of the 19th century, he had already lived in three countries before he started school in England in 1906. Robin couldn't wait to grow up and go off and do his own thing, like hunting and fishing and travel the world - maybe even join the Navy. His parents liked to spend time overseas with friends and relatives and so they sent Robin and his elder brother Pip to boarding school. Robin attended Osborne Naval College and later Eton. Just as he was about to leave school and em...
