Tick tock, tick tock... The Domesday Reloaded project 2011 is drawing to a close...
On the 31st October it's time for us to close Domesday Reloaded to updates and new submissions. This means that from that date you'll be unable to send us pictures, text entries or comments for your area. We're doing this to mark the end of the 2011 project and to enable The National Archives to capture the site and preserve the data - thus ensuring that it will be available to future generations.
(Don't worry, Domesday Reloaded will still be available to browse on the BBC for a good while yet).
So whilst there's still time, make your mark on this fascinating record of our collective history and send us an update!
Also, which picture do you think we should we leave on the front page when we stop updating the site?
Suggestions for your favourite image from Domesday Reloaded are most welcome...
On Radio 4 today from 12.45 we heard Sheila Dillon return to her Domesday Square around Hoghton in Lancashire.
The dairy farm at which she used to work in the holidays, the lack of public housing available since 1986, much has changed in 25 years. While looking for a paper mill and a wine wholesaler listed in Domesday, she runs into a chap who remembers doing the original project at school and now works at a steel foundry.
Yesterday Mark Lawson described what 25 years of supporting Leeds United feels like, whilst tomorrow Paddy O’Connell returns to Aberdeen. Richard Coles and Jane Garvey complete the quintet this week.
Domesday Reloaded: Me and My Square is proving a fascinating series. Do check it out on iPlayer if you can't catch R4 at lunchtimes. You can also see pictures of each trip at the You & Yours site.
And don’t forget you’ve got until 31st of October to update Your Square…
Next week on Radio 4, "Domesday Reloaded: Me and My Square" airs daily from 12.45.
Five Radio 4 presenters have returned to their Domesday Squares - those which hold especially mid-eighties significance for them, and have expored the changes (or not) of those neighbourhoods.
I've just enjoyed hearing a long trail for the series - you can catch it on today's You and Yours (probably sometime in the second half, my sources suggest...) and hear of a young Mark Lawson being told off in no uncertain terms for running across wet concrete.
What a picture...
