100,000+ Followers. Absolutely unreal. 🤯
When I launched Fascinating History, I wondered if a professional historian could compete with the daily scroll. Turns out, there's a massive hunger for the real, unvarnished truth of the past. Thank you for being here; I'm glad to meet you!
To celebrate, I’m bringing Fascinating History to your doorstep. Drop your city or region below. 👇
I’ll pick a handful to research and feature in upcoming posts on beautiful architecture, forgotten scandals, or bizarre local lore—with a personal shout-out to you.
Let’s see where you're all tuning in from! 🥳

Let me take you back 116 years to the summer of 1910: I've cleaned-up this astounding autochrome of young Hélène Gélibert, engrassed in her crochet and enveloped in such beautiful iridescent light! It was taken in Monplaisir, France, by the Lumiere brothers and it depicts their niece (the daughter of Juliette Lumière). It is an original colour process from 1910 and not colourised.
The exhibition I helped put together using Uncle Ivan Bawtree's photographs with @Aline_Sx and @TalbotHousTubby was covered by @FocusWTV
It runs until December so if you are in the #Ypres area do visit it at Talbot House in Poperinge.

Ivan Bawtree has left behind a vast array of archives that tell the story of his work as a photographer with the Graves Registration Units on the Western Front from 1915 to 1919.
