1820 Settler Places in Britain and Éire

In many cases, particularly in cities like London and Bristol, many buildings with settler ties no longer exist. In such cases I have tried to include historical pictures where possible, and where I have not been able to take pictures myself I have added pictures from www.geograph.co.uk, which can be used under a Creative Commons Licence. Where the photographer’s name appears as a clickable link followed by a CC BY-SA 2.0 reference, the original photo can be viewed together with other photographs of the surrounding area.

The pictures are currently arranged by county for England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, with separate sections for the cities of Birmingham, Bristol, Dublin, Edinburgh, Liverpool, London, Manchester and Nottingham. London has been further sub-divided into Boroughs so as not to have too many pictures in one file. The pictures appear as small icons with a brief title. Clicking on them will reveal a larger picture with text explaining the link to one or more settlers and a credit to the photographer. Clicking on the + sign will further enlarge the picture to full screen (ESCape to exit full screen), and the photographs can all be downloaded from the site.

 

Harwich, St.Nicholas Churchyard

Harwich, St.Nicholas Churchyard
14th January 2020

Hanover Inn and Foresters, a 15th century former pub said to be the oldest building in Harwich, viewed from St.Nicholas Churchyard. The ancient church of St.Nicholas was declared unsafe and rebuilt in 1822, so the present church is not the one where Robert EMSLIE and Sarah GREASLY got married in 1809. An engraving of the church in the late 18th century can be seen here.
