Northumbrian Rock Art | Victorian Cartography | When Did the Great War End? | A Short History of the Apple [audio 30min]

Vanessa Collingridge and the "Making History" team answer listeners' historical queries and celebrate the way in which we all 'make' history. 1) She approaches Britain’s leading experts on the rock art of Northumbria, Dr Aron Mazel of the University of Newcastle and Stan Beckensall, a former teacher who has devoted 40 years of his life to this subject; 2) Listeners' help is requested for information on Lillian Lancaster, a young Victorian cartographer whose first work was published in 1869 when she was only 14, and who also had a career on the stage; 3) Vanessa travels to Risby in Suffolk to meet up with the former County Archivist, Gwyn Thomas, to ask why some World War I memorials show the Great War ending in 1918 whilst others show 1919 or even 1920; 4) "Making History" journalist Richard Daniel visits Britain's National Fruit Collections in Kent to learn a quick history of the apple from Roman times onwards and insights on how the Elizabethans used apples in cooking.
