Most people think Charles Darwin came up with the phrase “survival of the fittest”… but that’s not actually true. The phrase was first coined by Herbert Spencer, a philosopher born on Exeter Street in Derby in 1820. After Darwin published On the Origin of Species, Spencer used the phrase in h

Jesse Boot, the Nottingham entrepreneur who built Boots the Chemist into a national chain, left the city with more than just a pharmacy empire - he also gave it one of its most beloved green spaces. In the early 1920s, Boot donated the deeds to the land at Highfields Park to Nottingham City Coun

So, since my hedgehog highway video… has anyone made a hole in their fence yet to help hedgehogs travel between gardens? 🦔💚 I’d love to know if you’ve done it, or if you’re thinking about it! 👀

I’m on Cameo! I know... I didn’t think I’d ever be saying that either! 😂 Recently I’ve had quite a few people asking if I can record personalised videos. Things like wishing someone a Happy Birthday, a speedy recovery, congratulating them on an achievement, celebrating an anniversary, retirem

Has anyone ever stopped to properly look at the “History of the Clocktower” wall inside the Victoria Centre in Nottingham? 👀🕰️ It’s all about the famous clock tower and how it’s been part of Nottingham since 1900. There are some brilliant old photographs and little facts showing how the area and

You may remember the other week I did a video outside the world’s smallest detached house in Youlgreave… and in that video I mentioned it was bought years ago by an ice cream maker from Chesterfield called Bruno Frederick🍦 Well would you believe it… look what I happened to come across out and ab

Did you know… that Attenborough Nature Reserve opened in 1966. It’s a beautiful area of flooded former gravel pits and islands providing a wonderful habitat for a wide range of birds, and there are hides too, so you can secretly watch, without disturbing them. This wonderful visitor centre was o

Did you know… that back in the 13th Century coal and ironstone were discovered around Belper. The coal was used to smelt the ironstone and the people of Belper started making nails to shoe horses. At its peak there were 500 families handmaking nails, and this is one of the workshops. It was a th

Did you know this happened right here in Nottingham? 👀 The very first tarmac road was laid on Radcliffe Road in West Bridgford… and it all started by accident. Back in 1901, Edgar Hooley spotted a strange smooth surface after tar spilled and mixed with slag - and by 1902, he’d patented it.

Stumbled across Basingwerk Abbey and what a find this is 👀 Dating all the way back to the 12th century, this place has some serious history behind it. It was left abandoned in 1536 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries Act. The Nott'm Lass got the drone out and the views didn’t disapp
