My book - Liverpool and the Un-Making of Britain - is out today! Here is a thread I made earlier of extraordinary facts about the city's history to get everyone excited.
On 27 Feb my book comes out. It’s about how Liverpool’s recent history should change the way we think about modern Britain. In this thread, every few days till then, I will share an extraordinary fact about Liverpool’s twentieth-century. Pre-order here: waterstones.com/book/liverpo…

What does urban history look like in the digital age? In my latest post for the new @urbanhistgroup ECR blog, I consider how we might use these new tools and techniques to our advantage...
'Digital advancements create new ways of identifying, extracting, and analysing the many layers of cities and towns across history [&] offer new means of sharing our findings beyond our peers'
Great blog by @emvchung on #UrbanHistory & #DigitalHumanities
