Tim P (sometimes known as ShropshireTraveller) writes: Heritage starts with people. For many folk that piece of heritage probably started out as the horrible new carbuncle built in their backyard (against their wishes). It's then passed down through the years by people whose own stories are linked with it. With the time it becomes invested with more and more meaning, as life, work and death happen around it, within it. Then, it ends up being a valued old something-or-other, and then enjoyed and maintained by people today. But what if there's no human narrative left to tell the story and help us make sense of the past?
I'd like to introduce some aspects of heritage that I particularly love: prehistory, and old roads and the components that form their story...
