Jottings

By David Cockman

HDAS member David Cockman is a prolific writer and an avid compiler of power point presentations on many aspects of archaeology and history.

He presents his very interesting and sometimes quirky lectures to clubs and societies over large areas of west Yorkshire and Lancashire.

These ‘occasional’ jottings also include personal reminiscence and comment on current events.

They have proved very popular with members and many have requested that recent jottings be kept on this site to give more people a chance to enjoy them.
