A steam-powered relic, nearly 150 years old and linked to the British Revenue Survey Department, was salvaged from the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram by the Hiramoni Salvage team. The vessel, significant for its role in tax collection in colonial India, was identified through a nameplate found on its hull, revealing its connection to Oudh Province. Meanwhile, Which? magazine's summer rankings highlighted the least appealing seaside resorts in the UK, prompting reflections on the historical significance of these locations. In another exploration, The Athletic examined the fate of former Football League grounds, such as Arsenal's Highbury, now replaced with luxury apartments, reflecting on the memories lost with these stadiums. Additionally, Dr. Steve Brown's backyard archaeology project in Sydney uncovered 3,600 historical artifacts, showcasing the rich narratives embedded in personal spaces. This exhibition, 'Backyard Archaeology,' at the Canberra Museum and Gallery reveals stories from the past, including finds linked to a dramatic local history.
