In Tales of Ordinary Times we discover the stories from history that you didn't know existed. There are (almost) no kings and queens here, just the extraordinary ordinariness of everyday life. Episodes range from the creation of public parks to why you used to be able to rent a pineapple and everything in between. Presented by historian Dr Ruth Colton and self-declared history superfan Emma Richmond, the podcast is two friends' journey through some of the most fascinating parts of the past. Tales of Ordinary Times is brought to you by Our Stories.

    Series 2 update
    Aug 31 2021
    Hi everyone, we know you were expecting us back in late August, but there's going to be a bit of a delay. There are lots of exciting things going on for both of us work-wise and personally, and unfortunately that means we aren’t able to deliver the second series of the podcast as planned.  We’re still looking to come back, so we’ll update you when we have another announcement to make. While you're waiting, do let us know what you would like to hear about in series 2, and catch up with us @ourstorieshrtg on Twitter and @OurStoriesHeritage on Instagram.  x

The village of Warton in North Lancashire has a very special connection to the most famous of American revolutionaries, General George Washington. Today, we're chatting to Dr Sam Edwards, Reader in Transatlantic History at Manchester Metropolitan University, about the Warton-Washington connection and how these grassroots connections influence the 'special relationship'.
