Plymouth Place Names |
|---|---|
| An ongoing project and a staple of Chris' 'Looking Back' column in local newspaper The Herald, is this documentation of the what and why of Plymouth's place names. Covering roads, rivers and areas within the city bounds and names coming from Old English, local dialects, people and even types of animal and trees, this is a fascinating alternative insight into the history of the city. | |

Plymouth Pubs: Past and Present |
| Another long-running project, in this case documenting the public houses (pubs) within the Plymouth area. This information has also been published within Chris's weekly Looking Back column in The Herald, as well as in two volumes of Plymouth Pubs: Past and Present (so far...). |
Please note that the site is being continuoulsy updated and if your local pub or place hasn't appeared on these pages then keep your eyes peeled for further entries in the near future.
