Charlie Cochrane - Mysteries with a dash of slash, romances with just a pinch of spice

Before I cut and paste the list, just wanted to let you know I may be out of posting range for a few weeks. off on the Cochrane's annual holiday!

Some historical resource:

Contemporary to the time: Pictures, books, plays, poetry, paintings, artefacts, photographs, newspapers, church magazines, films, postcards.

Museums specialising in or stately homes/houses/churches dating from the era, especially those which have a ‘living history’ element.

TV documentaries, well researched historical dramas/docudramas.

The Max Arthur series of books containing soldiers’/sailors’/airmen’s recollections of twentieth century wars. (Or any books of contemporary letters.)
