\"The
The Illustrated London Almanack <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is the 300th Post on this my ‘new’ blog. I thought I would mark it by a reminder of what I am trying to do with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years I have given a lot of walks on special occasions: Christmas, New Year, Halloween,Easter, May Day etc. as well as my regular ‘Myths, Legends of the Archaeological Origins of London Walk’. I have always had an interest in the Celtic Year, and when researching for my New Year’s Walks I came across Almanacks, and the more I found out about them the more I plundered them for content! I found that one third of books sold in London in the early modern period were Almanacks. That is how important they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I decided to create an ‘Almanack of the Year’ which changed title to an ‘Almanack of the Past’. In particular, what I am hoping to do is to create a London Almanack of the Past, where each day is remembered by an interesting and relevant post with a view to enlightening our understanding of London’s past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Content is around these ideas and themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folklore
Seasons & Nature
Measurement of Time
Calendars
Religion
Mythology
Legend
Anniversaries of Famous & Important events in the past
Historical & Archaeological news
News of my Walks
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I am aiming for is a really focussed London version of an Almanack of the Past. I need a good entry for every day of the year, and I’m hoping to do that over a three year period, and then get it published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
