In this episode I speak to John Lippiett, Chief Executive of the Mary Rose Trust about the current "Mapping Portsmouth's Tudor Past" exhibition at the city's historic dockyard. John shows me around a cartographer's paradise, tells me the stories behind the collection and why it is so important to the history of the city- as well as containing one of the earliest maps in Europe. The exhibition is at the Mary Rose Museum, Portsmouth until October 17th 2010. For more information go to http://www.historicdockyard.co.uk/maryrose/ or call 023 9289 4550.

In this programme I meet up with "The Friends of Highland Road Cemetery"- a group of volunteers who help to maintain the grounds and stories of one of Southsea's oldest graveyards. I speak to Chairman, Pat Oakley, and Founder, Helen Strange, about the curious collection of graves in the cemetery and the work of the friends group. I also get a guided tour from Colin, exploring the histories behind some of the granite and undergrowth. This programme was originally broadcast on Monday 26th July 2010.
