Welcome to the Urban Historian

Due to illness, all Urban Historian activities are postponed until April 2024. I am recovering from a bone marrow transplant and now need time to get my energy and fitness back for the walking tours, but hope to make a start on talks and history cafes before the walks. I do intend maintaining the website by researching and publishing new history stories as and when I’m able. Stephen
If you’d like to support myself over the next 6 months or so to keep the website online, donations can be made via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/urbanhistorian or through the buttons at the foot of the page.
Also check out the shop for publications & Notebooks available on Amazon.co.uk
Please keep an eye on my social media for future updates.
