Boats against the current. February 3, 2017. February 5, 2017. So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past. F Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby. The famous last line from The Great Gatsby has been rattling around my head recently. We live in interesting times. And much hinges on the past, on the stories we tell about who we were and how we got here. My job is to explore things from the past, to build narratives from those Old Things, to apply.

http://diglichstreet.blogspot.com/2015/07/preserving-remains.html
Updates from the Worcester Cathedral roundabout archaeological excavation. Memories of Lich Street? Tuesday, 28 July 2015.
