World War Two was a conflict that lasted from 1939 until 1945. It involved virtually every part of the world, as the Allied Forces of Great Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union and China fought against the Axis powers of Germany, Italy and Japan.
Here, we take a look at five facts from this incredible period of history that you may not know.
Here, we take a brief look back at the history of one of Britain’s last pre-decimal coins.
As the second son of Edward VII, George was never meant to be king of Britain. However, fate would intervene and this strict disciplinarian and devoted husband, would go from a career in the navy, to becoming a father figure of the nation, leading Britain into the 20th century where the world would rapidly change.
He would also change the name of the British royal family. In our latest blog of “The House of Windsor” series, we take a look at the life of George V.
Winston Churchill was born on the 30th November 1874. Most people will remember him as the Prime Minister who led Britain to victory during World War Two. But what else do you know about this remarkable man? Here are five facts that you might find interesting.
Britain’s second longest reigning monarch, Queen Victoria, was on the throne for over 63 years, until her death on 22nd January 1901. She was the first British monarch to take up residence in Buckingham Palace, following the strict childhood that she had experienced growing up in Kensington Palace.
In the second blog of our “Greatest Achievements” series, we take a look at some of the achievements that she is most known for.
This year we are marking the 50th anniversary of decimalisation in Britain, or “Decimal Day” as it became known, by looking back at some of the most iconic British coins, which ceased to be minted following this momentous day for British coinage.
The farthing had actually stopped being minted fifteen years earlier in 1956, and it ceased to be legal tender in Britain on the 1st January 1961, but continued to be used in certain overseas territories until 1970. In recent memory, the farthing will be remembered for the little wren that adorned the reverse, and here, we take a brief look at its history.
