Dear friends Fabbers and Forumites.

I trust you are all having a jolly day , nd that the morning went well for you all.

Blimey I think we are in for a bit of a storm here in my little corner of Wales. The wind has picked up and the birds are all a dither .

One of my passions is History , I love to read and learn new facts . Visit historical places and explore . I know simply heaps about my local history and I'm discovering new things every day .

This got me thinking , is their a period in time you would like to visit , as a time tourist ?

What would you like to see or do ?

It's a tough one as I'm still deciding .

So hop on board the Taff Tardis and let's go back in time .

Taff

I’d definitely love to go back to the prehistoric era in order to observe dinosaurs (from a safe distance of course mind you)

Probably the Restoration for the bawdiness and theatrical comedy.

I love history generally but veer towards social history more than anything rather than specific periods. I'm particularly interested in how places change over time and would love to go back to somewhere I know well, which would most likely be London, and observe it through the ages so to speak - the way it evolved and grew, how outlying villages and hamlets were absorbed into the metropolis, see long lost buildings as they were, the changing use of the Thames and the docks etc.

I was always interested in dinosaurs as a kid, so would love to go back to when they were around. Today it can be hard to imagine these giant reptiles (and other creatures), in some case the size of houses, wandering the earth. It would be quite a sight I'm sure.

If not that then a bit like LFV said, I'd love to go back in time to a place I know well i.e. the place I grew up. I've always been fascinated how places evolve over time, why certain buildings came to be situated where they are and what previously might have been on a site. Also, why old roads were initially placed where they were. Things like that interest me.

I'd like to go back to a time when several types of human species existed in proximity and to learn how they were different and got along. Obviously I'd want to avoid any that were just warring with each other. It would also be interesting to see any of their mixed-species hybrid offspring, which were our ancestors

England in the reign of Henry IV - 1399 to 1413 - partly so we could see what his favourite Castle(Bolingbroke) was like in its heyday.

I went up the Burj Khalifa in Dubai a few years ago, While looking through the telescope you can view what you're looking at in historic mode and see what the area was like over the years

It would either be right back in time to the dinosaurs or like someone else said forward to the start of human space traveling, Although something's in history stand out today I recon a lot would be pretty boring the time they was done, Can you imagine in a few hundred years time people saying I would go back to when the internet was made or banksy painted that rat on the wall, Or even to the great lockdown of 2020

There are loads, but one I often come back to is to London 1888 to hide in the shadows to find out who Jack The Ripper was once and for all.

That's the sort of thing I mean! I love anything like that - when you get different age maps overlaid on each other, or side by side photo comparisons. Impossible I know (for pretty obvious reasons) but I'd like a fast motion film showing London, for example, across the centuries. As it really was, not as per the film maker's imagination.

Id love to shadow the ice man that was discovered high in the mountains, to see why that journey and to observe his ways of survival. To see if it was slightly warmer or much colder.

I've always been fascinated by the aristocracy in the 20s and 30s.

That would be my choice.
