About Me

DP LIndegaard

I have been researching the social history of the West Country for 45 years. During this time I have collated information on a wide range of people living and working in the West Country including miners, ethnic minorities, petty criminals, sailors, tommies, benefactors, brassmakers and many more. The thing that I find amazing is that ordinary people always lived extraordinary lives. I hope you like my blog that brings together my lifetime of research.

The epitaph on the gravestone of James Pillinger - the sight of which started me of on my journey of discovery 49 years ago!
