Ye Olde Guide

Welcome to Ye Olde Guide, a podcast telling the story of English urban heritage.

Our aim is to provide an accessible guide to the history of the towns and cities of England (and maybe later beyond…). The podcasts, and this accompanying website could be a starting point to visiting these towns, to uncover the many hidden gems across the country.

The podcast is brought to you by Daniel Gooch and Liam McGrath. Daniel is a local historian specialising in urban migration. You can read his MA dissertation on the The human capital value of migration to Reading here. Liam is a Principal Planner at Transport for London, and sits on the board of Leathermarket – a social housing provider. He has a blog on contemporary urban issues here.
