The history of England and Wales can be told in many ways but one of the powerful threads running through this history is the story of protest and struggle through the centuries. Many of these events are famous, such as the Tolpuddle Martyrs and the Peterloo Massacre, others less so such as Britain's longest running strike at Burston school in Norfolk. From the flashpoints of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381, through the Diggers encampment on St George's Hill in Surrey in 1649, the Chartists uprising in Newport in 1839 to Orgreave Colliery during the Miners' Strike in 1984, alongside other places engrained in our history such as Jarrow and Aldermaston, there are sites of clashes and protest over rights, representation, work, land-use, wars and much more, as well as sites of the early co-operative movement.Protest and Struggle: 50 Historic Sites in England and Wales will appeal to all those who want to know more about the history of England and Wales. Through this book readers today can revisit these sites and explore the full breadth of the rich history of protest and struggle through the centuries and the fascinating stories behind them.

Worcester is one of England’s great historic cities, with a history of occupation that goes back to the Iron Age. It was a Roman ironworking and industrial centre, though some houses were decorated with mosaics or painted wall plaster. From AD 680, Worcester was the ecclesiastical centre of the Hwicce and later a defended Mercian burh. The medieval city had many parish churches and monasteries, a castle and city walls, and a stone bridge across the River Severn. It was refortified in the Civil War, and the first and last battles of the war were fought here. More recently, the city has been an important centre for the production of porcelain.The Archaeology of Worcester in 20 Digs takes the reader on a journey through a selection of the most ground-breaking and unusual archaeological discoveries made in the city.
