It's good to be the King
Could you have claim to be the real King or Queen of England? English Heritage thinks somebody might and is asking any potential claimants to send in the genealogy they have so that English Heritage’s panel of genealogists and historians can assess the claim.
The search is all tied in with the opening of a new visitor centre at Battle Abbey, built by William The Conqueror in 1070 after he invaded England and defeated King Harold in 1066.

Guide to England's music history
There’s a new website started that helps music fans track down locations of historical interest in the story of rock and pop over the last forty or so years in England. Called England Rocks the site has a menu and interactice map that lets you find the sites of famous venues, homes, recording studios, album cover settings, video shoots and even a few places where rock stars met untimely deaths.
The menu is designed like the ones in a jukebox machine, click on the left or right blue bar and the list will flip over or back. Among the London sites listed are venues such as the 100 Club and Brixton Academy, the Hope and Anchor pub in Islington where U2, The Stranglers and Joy Division played their first London gigs
