It was great fun being part of this year's West Cork History Festival earlier this summer. With dual themes of Partition and Empire, there was a real wealth of talks given. Mine, on (predictably) the Newmarket men who policed colonial Hong Kong is available by clicking the link. All the other talks, both free and paid, are now available and well worth exploring - go to the website.  



Many thanks to the organisers Victoria and Simon Kingston for a very smooth and easy digital festival. Looking forward to it in real life next year, when it will be back in Skibbereen.
