http://timewalk.btck.co.uk/ After 12 months of taking photos doing research and learning how to build a website, here is the result. Still needs work but its beginning to look like a heritage site I think.

I'll look at it later, but congratulations, wish I was as clever as you! Best Wishes. Brian

All the best to you and keep up the good work.
I will be a keen viewer of the site.

Well done DW You should be very proud of yourself.

I never thought I could ever produce a website.

If you want to make one for your family tree or local history it really isn't so hard.

All you need is a website host who will give you a number of templates to choose from and you register with them as a community user. There are a number of free sources ie to help you make thumbnails, store photos. even pages of info.

I never thought I could ever produce a website.

And you did :biggrin:

I'll give you one thing DW, when you set your heart on something you follow through

Hey DW
You did it ,it`s amazing I live about 13 mile from the worst shopping centre on earth :2fun:
,had to take d-i-l shopping there before Christmas -November thankfully- and to my amazement I could not see the world famous steel bull :'((where has it gone//)or the towers:'(
what was the heritage people thinking about???I have long thought that we have become a nation that has no voice
DW
I ask you to please keep up the goodwork and I bow to your expertise

The Bull is outside Magna Science Museum. When steelworks changed ownership they donated the bull there. I agree it is sad it has moved. Such a beautiful beast. Of course by the end of next year there will be a great towering shiny steel structure going up, the Man of Steel. Apparently a well wisher just donated one million pounds to the kitty so they can get it going earlier than originally planned.
