Review of 2017

2017 has been an interesting year both for me and for the blog!

I finally finished my local history course in July, and the results eventually came through in November!! I've been more involved in the Old Rectory Museum of late, and started a blog and a Twitter feed for them, as well as sending in reports of activities and meetings to the Loughborough Echo. I've also been a little more involved with the Loughborough Library Local Studies Volunteers Group, and wrote 100 words about Loughborough every day for 100 days. 

As for the blog, I promised an update to the format, and a few extra interesting pages, but in reality I've been a bit side-tracked by other things, so this hasn't materialised. Never mind, you still seem to enjoy reading some of my posts, so here's the usual end-of-year review - the most popular posts and pages, the least popular posts and pages, and the all-time most popular posts and pages!

Your most favoured posts are: 

* Coming in at 10th place, was Swithland Slate in Local Churchyards

* Placed at 9th was The Loughborough Legend

* In 8th place was Swithland Slate Gravestones

* The 7th most popular post was The Silence of Loughborough Fair

* Placed at 6th position was Why Have I Never Visited Before?

* In 5th position was From the Rooftops, Part 1

* And in 4th place was Snowy Loughborough
 

* And in medal position 3rd came Disasters in Loughborough

* 2nd place was taken by Plague and Dead Lane
