When it comes to the mysteries of Britain's #Neolithic past, Stonehenge is probably the structure people would recognise the most.

But archaeologists are now beginning to unravel the secrets of an even stranger structure, built off the coast of #Norwich 4,000 years ago.

Researchers believe that ' #Seahenge' and a second nearby #monument were built by ancient Britons during a period of extreme cold, in an effort to try and bring back the warm weather.

I'm proud to have joined the Common Lot in #Norwich. This year's #musical #play, The Great Estate, tells the history of Mile Cross, the first purpose built social housing estate in the #UK, now 100 years old. Written by the Common Lot after researching local history. #Songs and #socialism, celebrating social housing, #Thatcher bashing included. What more could you ask for? #MX100

‘Life changing’: the social #housing helping to cut #heating #bills in #Norwich

Built to #Passivhaus standards, Goldsmith Street’s low-energy approach offers a pioneering approach to the housing #crisis

Even on the coldest day of the winter so far, tenants of a pioneering housing scheme say they do not need to turn on their heating. A blast of Arctic air has brought a dusting of snow to the Goldsmith Street housing scheme in Norwich, but inside “it’s like summer”, according to Jayed Abdas Samad, 32, a Just Eat delivery rider.

At a time of health fears for more than 3 million households struggling to pay for heating, Jayed and his neighbours can provide a glimpse of how much better it would be if the UK’s homes were properly insulated and ventilated.
