During my school days, history lessons were predominantly characterized by flat pages filled with facts, events, and royal personalities. However, it was the material aspects of the past, the tangible remnants left behind, that truly captivated me. It was these buildings and places, and the knowledge of how they functioned, that truly brought the past to life.
