I’m Dr Gerry Colley, the creator and author behind this blog. I’ve always had an interest in history and the social sciences, and after retirement was fortunate enough to undertake independent research for a PhD in these areas. In my thesis, I investigated the social, cultural, economic, political, aesthetic and environmental attitudes towards new technologies in Victorian England. The information was gleaned from central government and local authority archives, as well as those of professional institutions, and contemporary newspaper articles.
