Welcome to Foxton Locks - all the fun of the canals, set in the heart of rural South Leicestershire.

History Mole - Themed Timelines
Submitted by Lynn on Sat, 02/05/2009 - 7:31pm
Link:
HistoryMole is a world history project which aims to teach history through a series of 'themed' timelines.
Each theme consists of an article followed by a timeline. The events in the timeline represent the 'facts' of history as recorded in numerous sources, and the article gives an 'interpretation' of these facts.
The events are held in our database which currently has in excess of 20,000 entries and is growing each day. Articles are either written by the HistoryMole team or are contributed by independent authors.
