Billy Bragg is best know for his song writing and political activism. One of my favourite songs and one of his most known…

I can’t remember coming across this National Heritage site before, its aim is to record images of England’s built heritage, might be useful for considering what we think of as English in ‘My Place’ and the ‘Cultural Geography’ topic.

A nice reflective post on my cultural objects task from Kenny, I’d been interested to see his students’ work, I wonder if there will be a difference between Scottish and English teenagers in their choices.
