- CITiZAN volunteer Tijana Cvetkovic's detective work on some First World War graffiti we recorded together near Sandwich, Kent
- Food plays a big role in any regions identity and a place's intangible heritage. Think of a piece of delicious Caerphilly cheese from Wales or a scrumptious, piping hot Cornish pasty. This blog looks at some of Team North's favorite dishes from the North of England.
- By the beginning of the 20th century Liverpool had developed into one of the largest ports in the United Kingdom and as the Second World loomed on the horizon Merseyside was of vital importance to the country. As a result the ports on the Mersey and the surrounding area were heavily bombed. This blog describes one of the defences built in Formby in an effort to protect Bootle Docks.
- In November 2019 CITiZAN south-west were joined by archaeology students from the University of Southampton to undertake survey work of D-Day infrastructures at Stokes Bay and Hayling Island. Here, James MacDonell shares his experience of these sites and the amazing stories they hold.
- On until 11 February, at Nice Things, Ramsgate, is an exhibition of photographs taken at the site of Pegwell Bay Hoverport: a collaboration between the East Kent Coast Discovery Programme and members of East Kent Mencap's photography group. This blog showcases some of the photos from the exhibition and gives an overview of this 'weird but interesting' site.
