Archaeology with the community!

Hand with treasure

Archaeology with the community!
There is a new Research Centre for Applied Archaeology at the University of Salford (but based in the CUBE building on Portland Street in Manchester).

The work of the Centre includes involving people from local communities, helping them to learn more about the history of their locality, and the chance to be trained in archaeological techniques. This might also be an interesting way to encourage both physical activity and learning!

If any local community group or school wants to know more, or become involved in digging up the past, they should contact:

Mike Nevell (Head of Archaeology) m.d.nevell@salford.ac.uk or Brian Grimsditch (Community Archaeologist) b.grimsditch@salford.ac.uk

TESCO - a rip-off???

About two weeks ago I went into the Tesco store in Salford.
(If you don’t know where Salford is it is part of Greater Manchester Metropolitan Area.)

I must have an anal retentive memory but the previous day I noticed
that there was a large box containing potatoes, each bag costing 78p.
Today’s price was £1.50 per bag!
