Graves in the foreground, stone-walled field systems climbing the hills behind—layers of power, community, and land use written into the landscape.

The last of my snowy site visits was to Flaybrick Memorial Gardens in the Wirral. A Grade II* Registered Park and Garden, also a Heritage at Risk site, whose designer, Edward Kemp (1817-1891), is also buried here.

The longest and most rewarding of my site visits in the snow last week was at Bramham Park. In glorious weather, firm snow, and with generous hosting by the owner, it was a truly unforgettable experience in one of England's finest historic designed landscapes.

Another site visit from last week in the snow, on the way back from Liverpool: Eastham Victorian Pleasure Gardens, largely forgotten and mostly overgrown. Despite all, the place survived remarkably well, although needs substantial clearing to be fully appreciated.

Anyone interested in landscape history, or simply appreciating the land around them with more knowledge? Dr Oosthuizen does great threads.

The wonder of newspaper cuttings! This one is a great insight into the moment when in 1951 Brenda Colvin made history by becoming the first woman president of the Institute of Landscape Architects and the Evening Standard reporting it with the title ‘First Woman Chief’ #landscapehistory
